Hello All,
My 2000lb (900 kg) engine stand arrived a couple of days ago. Thank you every one for your insight.
I am going to get some pallet racking so that I can get a couple of engines off the back of my two trucks so they are lighter and easier to move. This meant doing some calculations on rack capacity so I performed another search - this time I used the word "Heavy" instead of "weight" - as in "How heavy is a Chev 216 engine?" I found this site dedicated to engine weights... Accessed 27th of May 2017 from
http://www.gomog.com/allmorgan/engineweights2.html They have the weight of a 216 at Chevy L6 216/235 at 630 pounds. They also have the Chevy small block V8 at 575 Pounds and the Chevy big block V8 at 685 pounds.
I hope this link proves handy to people - it would be good to know how accurate these figures are though.
Kind Regards
Lionel
