That's what I wanted to figure out. I am scrapping this engine, so I disassembled everything down to the bare aluminum. Block = 64lbs Spacer = 2bs Crank cap = 21lbs Oil pan = 10lbs Head #1 = 35lbs Head #2 = 35lbs Coolant/waterpump housing = 10lbs Pistons = 7lbs Oil filter adapter = 1lb Thermostat housing = 1lb I didn't include the throttle body or any of the brackets because I'm not scrapping them. It totals up to be just short of 200lbs. Not bad! |

What can you get per pound there? |

I haven't checked recently, but I think last time was around $.70/pound |

I have a chunk of aluminum laying around too.... Need to take it in and get rid of it... Heads, Trans case, Pistons, intakes( nissan ) on and on.... Funny the 2 heads weigh more than the block... |

The Northstar V8 would make a great coffee table. Hmm. |

Your scale has a muffin top with the block on it. |

I've been wanting to do that with the LB9 from my T/A. Maybe I will... But bringing that to the second story would make people hate me... |

Or if I found some super rare block that was junk. A piece of glass cut to fit is cheap enough, and they can make the holes in it for you. Just gotta clean all the grease off the block first. |
