I had an 0-470 sitting in my shop and can testify that it was a LOT more difficult to lift using my block and tackle than the two Ford V6's I offloaded. The block and tackle almost couldn't lift the 0-470 but easily hoisted the V6's. I know it's anecdotal, but this was with a stripped block to boot. The 0-470 did not have the starter attached, nor did it have the two mags or generator or the pressure regulator for the prop. It was just very very heavy even without all those things. Corky Scott
