Tossed a few items on our shipping scale at work.

The bare iron timing cover weighed in at a whopping 18 pounds. The water pump added another 4.5 pounds.



Tri-Power intake weighs 39.5 pounds. Comparable to the weight of the popular '67 -'72 iron Q-jet intakes.



The 2-barrel intake weighs 38.5 pounds, surprisingly just one pound less than the Tri-Power.
