Weight of a 7M block?

[gtsfirefighter]

Does anybody know the weight of a 7M block with no internals, pumps, sensors, nothing? Just the block?
Thanks
Ken

Thread edited for clarity. GE and GTE blocks are the same weight.

I'm disappointed Jeff. I read the question, and assumed I would see you with an answer.......not just a clearification of the question. :evil2:

89+ Blocks weigh more

According to the good Drjonez: http://www.mkiiitech.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=25

'90 Cylinder Block: 147 lbs

89+ Blocks weigh more

I thought the block changed in '90 with the newer crank, no?

Jeff: NA's appear to have changed much earlier and I haven't been able to pin down a specific year for GTE's so I'm not sure!

If just looking at the part numbers, the block part number changed in 03/89 for both the GE and GTE, but I don't know if that is actually when the casting change happened. I'd bet it is, but Toyota does casting changes without part number changes sometimes.

I believe the Group A motors were built on thickwall NA Blocks if that helps any.
