Greetings fellow MG persons!
What is the weight of our beloved mg motors? I'm thinking 450lbs or so.
Mgb and MGa should be pretty close.

With, without transmission.
what if I use two coats of paint on the block?
Mines kind of dusty right now, too. That's gotta add some weight to it!
Not soaking wet, though.
Enough.
Thanks in advance.
Eric
