En 425-motor väger i alla fall 45 kilo (100lbs) mindre än en 472/500-motor!! Detta enligt GM's shop manual från 1977.

Cadillac 472/500 väger 302kg.
Cadillac 425 väger alltså 255kg.
En Chrysler 426 hemi väger 331kg.
En Cadillac Northstar-motor väger 189kg.


I weighed my 472 on: March 02, 2004, I have read from several sources that a caddy 472/500 weighs 600 lbs, a SBC is 575,and a BBC is 680. Well, after wrestling with 3 engines this past weekend I am not so sure. My friend and I trailered a chevy 4.3, a chevy 350, for him and a '69 caddy 472 for me. Loading and unloading the 4.3 was cake, the 305 wasn't bad, but after stepping on my nuts heaving the 472 around, I question that 600 lb #. I don't know If we were intimidated by the sheer size of it, or it really is a lot more than 25 lbs heavier than a small block. So I weighed it. Complete '69 472 air cleaner to oil pan, fan to flexplate. All weights are in lbs. and include the bolts, etc. for that part.
