I remember helping my friend carry a Healey block.=C2=A0 It took two of us=
using a pipe passed through one of the cylinders.
So, 140 lbs for the block, 100 lbs for the crank and head comes to 240 lbs.=
=C2=A0 Add in the flywheel, pistons, rods and sleeves and a fully dressed T=
R2,3,4 engine adds up to about 350 lbs or less.
I weighed some TR6 parts and the block is 120 lbs, the crank is 60 lbs and =
flywheel is 30 lbs.=C2=A0 Same ball park.=C2=A0 The Healey block, by itself=
, must weigh in at 200 lbs.

I seem to remember years back a couple gentleman cutting up a Healey 6 cyl =
block to make casts for an aluminum block build for a race car. IIRC... the=

half (or less) of that.=C3=AF=C2=BF=C2=BD=C3=AF=C2=BF=C2=BD So in my view,=
