Does anyone know the weight of an all cast iron 351C? What would the weight be of an all cast iron 400?
Thanks |

Thanks, what I was really looking for was the weight difference between a 351C and a 400. From your data it looks like about 25 lbs.

Yup. And about a +3.5lb difference for 4V heads. I imagine intakes/exhaust or headers would make slight differences, too. Either way, a 302 definitely weighs less than either but won't have the grunt.

At least 1/2 of the weight difference between the 351c and the 351m/400 is in the rotating assembly due to counterbalancing the long rods/taller pistons. P~
