Go with 150, if they catch it & weigh it, then you'll just have to pay the difference.

Easily handled by 2 people, I'd think about 160.

Enough to make your nuts know you picked one up and put it in the truck by yourself!
I'd guess 150 / 160. I used to know but forgot!

Nuts putting it in, toes or back taking it out.

I slid a bare 455 block out of the back of my GMC pickup into a wheel barrow. It weighted enough to mash the tailgate into the wheel barrow skinning up the tail gate.
I've decided that it's a two man job.

When I was getting my 72 YC 455 block and my 72 400 blocks machined I found the 400 to be heavier. I could always man-handle the 455 from cart to truck but found mysellf needing help or the hoist for the 400. The 455 was also filled to the bottom of the frost plugs

Didn't crush the pallet I pinched from behind the local hardware store. I go out in the garage and stare at it.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
