Scruffy is now 455-less! That's one heavy <explicative here> !

Does anyone know what a 455 with the transmission and final drive and exhaust manifolds weighs... give or take? (Think I set a new personal best for man-handling). Laughing

Thanks,

I'm sure someone will chime in with the weight...but if you are big enough to 'manhandle' that...I'll never make fun of you again!

Other guesses?

No worries Carl - tease away... I'm not very big, just really, really stubborn, maybe a bit silly, and pretty good in figuring out 'leverage'. Wink

Thanks Ken - zowie, that is (was) heavy! I was guessing around 600, maybe 700 total. Good thing I took the air filter out. Laughing

Thanks again!

Gord
