How much does a340 block weigh?

Doesn't anybody mess around with their GF----BF in the back of their cars anymore

You two together can't weigh anymore than any engine block.

[moper]

first, I dont fit in the backseat with her...lol. and driving while messing is well... distracting .

Second, my previous parts runner was an Omni... I carried an entire 440 in pcs in it on several occasions...lol. Just drive defensively...lol

Looking at the back seat of my fish, I dont see how ANYONE could do "anything" back there......

You can check my avatar, I had the trunk fully loaded with spares including an A833 and all the pieces to convert, back seat filled up and I removed the passenger seat and fitted a complete 360 in its place, drove it 1800 miles. It was low and I had to go around match boxes or junk food wrappers.

I once carried about a dozen concrete pads (16x10 or so) in the trunk along with two kids in the back seat.

....and my stock springs were saggy already.

Hung way low but made it home OK.

(I did this out of shear necessity, by the way....I dont regulalrly carry yard materials in my fish!)

Yes I filled my Challenger up out of necessity, I did check under first, the springs looked solid but would need re arching and leaf added. I was going to pick up another V8 in Oklahoma but passed because it was already way to low. A regular importer of Challengers here in Australia reckons he puts 2 V8's in back and one in place of passenger seat, I don't think he drives them.

Well I picked up a nice stock bore 340 motor, steel crank, rods, and windage tray from Doug at MoParts in Vegas.  Nice guy and he has alot of really nice cars and parts!

LOL  I know someone who claims she did "that" in the back section of a 63 (?) split window vette.  After seeing one at a car show, cant figure out the logistics of that one either.....

"But my love is bigger than a Honda
Yeah, it's bigger than a Subaru
Hey man there's only one thing
And one car that will do
Anyway we don't have to drive it
Honey we can park it out in back
And have a party in your pink Cadillac"

I'm about thin as a crankshaft and I like them thin as a camshaft
