Ulix! I think you are really clever ferreting out the folks with bare block
1275s!!! <LOL>

UPS now accepts up to 150 lbs for a single package.

Ulix,
I just trudged to the shop in 4 inchs of snow to scale a block for you
and here it is.

A totally stripped block, sans everything including freeze plugs and
cam bearings, but with mn. caps and bolts weighs exactly 75 lbs. This
block has been hot tanked, bored .040 and decked also.
Make whatever adjustments you need to compensate for left on parts.

Hope this helps you. Isn't 75 lbs the weight limit for UPS?

Brad

Hi,

does anyone know the approx. weight of a bare 1275 block?  I need to
figure
out how to ship one and get an idea of cost.

Thanks,
