Haha, yes they are mucho heavy. 7m-ge and 5 speed is heavier than my monte carlos 305 with aluminum heads on it and 200-4r trans. The reason is the straight 6 block has to have more material on it by design. On a v8, the oil pan and intake manifold ,which are aluminum and sheet metal, make up a lot of the surface area that the straight 6 has to cover. Plus its longer and taller and about the same width, Both motors being completley disassembled.
