It's gotta be less that a BB iron head which I recently weighed @80lb each..... so maybe 60lb?

You're welcome Tom. Besides, my wife just loves when I use the bathroom scale to weigh engine parts. :lol:

I've been trying to document the individual weight of all the stock BB components compared to the lighter weight units I'll be using. :crazy:

It was a a little tough getting the block on there! :lol: :lol: :lol: :crazy:
