DanOlson Posted October 21, 2009 Report Posted October 21, 2009 Anybody know the weight of a 218 fully dressed? I got the motor out last night and considering trying to get it on an engine stand. Dan Olson Quote
Norm's Coupe Posted October 21, 2009 Report Posted October 21, 2009 Think it's about 500 lbs. without the tranny. Quote
DanOlson Posted October 21, 2009 Author Report Posted October 21, 2009 Thanks. The rear of the motor is stripped down. Took me a few minutes to figure out how to get the bell housing off. Dan Quote
Young Ed Posted October 21, 2009 Report Posted October 21, 2009 Dan the weight isnt as crucial as the length. You need a stand with a bottom like an H. The ones that are a T dont work well for flatheads. Quote
DanOlson Posted October 21, 2009 Author Report Posted October 21, 2009 Never thought of that. Maybe a good excuse to buy another tool. Dan Quote
DanOlson Posted October 22, 2009 Author Report Posted October 22, 2009 Borrowed a friends stand and got the flat head mounted. Now the fun starts. Dan Quote
