Hey does any body know the approximate weight of a lt1 short block? I'm trying to quote someone a shipping price and I need to know.

350ish depending on what else is attached to it.

no way an LT1 shortblock weighs 350lbs, even assembled. I carry around bare lt1 blocks like nothing, and only bench 315

It cost me 150.00 to ship my 383 shortblock from NH to IN! Don't know if this helps?

Short block meaning block crank rods pistons. So sounds to be about 300? Damn that's a little heavier than I expected. Thanks guys.

Yeah, 350ish with crank, rods and pistons. You have to realize a crank is 40-50lbs alone. It all adds up if you have a cam, oil pan, covers, balancer, timing chain etc.

I shipped one at 350ish pounds. It might be closer to 300, but if you underestimate and the shipping company wants to be a dick, you will pay the price.

Use a company called www.freightquote.com to get quotes for shipping. I have used the companies Estes and UPS Freight. Estes is cheaper and was way better to deal with than UPS. Freightquote has great prices.
