351 Engine Weight?
I am going to start on a new project and want to build myself an engine.
The problem is that I live in an appartment building and will be doing all the assembly on the deck. I will need to wheel the engine into the elevator and bring it up 4 floors.
The elevator says that the max capicity is 1200 LBS but it is also older so I dont want to stress it out too much.
How much does a 351 weigh? I am sure it is not 1200 LBS but I just want to know what the weight is before I start.
Thx
Randall

I think I'd worry about the floor in the apartment more than the elevator! Not sure about apartments, but residential design calls for 40lbs per sq ft live load. A sheet of 3/4 ply might not be a bad idea to spread that load around on the floor under the engine stand.
