Re: dealing with the extra weight if a diesel

I'm finding 685 lbs. for a fully dressed 454 (including cast iron manifolds) and 980 lbs. for a ve pumped 12v 6bt. The 12v weight includes 47rh adapter plate , flexplate, starter, vacc/power steering pump, a/c compressor, altenator, hx35 turbo, oil filter full of oil, 12 qts oil in the pan, diaphram lift pump, fuel filter, and crew cab`s motor mounts, no fan or fan clutch. So not quite as bad as you would think. 300+/- lb. difference.
