Buddy and I lifted the whole assembly and it wasn't unbearable but it wasn't light Is the np205 by itself heavier than a TH400? I can handle those by myself. Also how heavy is the bare 350 engine block by the way?

Looks like I need to put money in the crank so will probably go with the 383, and stock heads. Biggest question is rollerizing the valve train, lots of debate on the interweb about that.

I'd like to keep the original trans in there. Would like to put a gearvendors on in the future.
