05-20-2010 11:42 AMLooking good Angel,
Just dont stand under it, it should hold, but I wouldnt let it swing there forever. pull it, pull the boat out, and lower the engine to the stand. We did a friends a similar way, he had steel trusses, but it really wasnt all that heavy. let me know when your ready to drop the new one in, and I will come down and help, ripping one out is one thing, but an extra person always helps for installation, alignment etc.

The engine is stripped down pretty well, so it should not be a problem.
Weight of BBC without exhaust, tranny or drive is approx. 685lbs.

Fully dressed I can see where it could be 1100 lbs or more....plus a 502 is a little heavier from what I've read than a 454.AKA - "Pantera24" on OSO

There's a reason those outboards are so awesome ... 300xs only weighs 505lbs. and pumps out more than 300hp.
But damn that lumpety lump sound of dry exhaust and a cam is SWEET...AKA - "Pantera24" on OSO
