Clint, thanks for the reply. Not sure where you got the idea that I've worked on a 400 small block Chevy before, as I stated in the last reply I have a 1965 mustang. Mustang = ford, not Chevy. And by your argument of being able to lift more because of a reduced range of motion, I guess that means you can lift a small car five times that weighs 2,500 lbs because you only lift it a couple inches. Makes sense right? And no I'll pass on your offer, I have better things to do with my time than fly down to Kentucky and prove someone wrong
I already searched it last night before I posted the comment, a 400 small block Chevy is 575lbs complete. I know a thing or two about engine weight as I have a 1965 mustang and have swapped out three small block engines in it within the past 2 years and know that they are heavy. So unless the engine was completely gutted that's the only way it could be close to "440lbs." Plus, how do you lift 440lbs 5 times but only do 475 once? That doesn't make any sense. Oh and I can lift almost double my body weight of 220lbs, so it's not like I can't powerlift either
First off Chevy didn't make a 440 engine, that would have been mopar aka Chrysler, Plymouth or Dodge. Second, that engine weighs roughly 650lbs, so how do you bench 475lbs once but can lift a 650lb engine five times? I call bullshit
