I bought a 302 H.O short block for my II. I managed to put it in the back seat of my little Mazda 323, and I managed to get it on the engine stand (alone). My boss bought my H.O core, so we just lifted into his truck. "How much does that thing weight?" He asks (out of breath). I looked it up 311lbs!!! I thought, I was some kind of wimp, guess not!!! Stupid maybe
