Yep, thats right, I weighed it today and my local aluminum recycle yard. The upper intake and lower intake for a 3400 motor weighs 19 lbs sans all bolts and such. This is just the bare castings.

Anyone want to know how much one would get in scrap prices for 19 lbs of GM's finest intake manifolds? $7.75!! Thats right bitches. I put a down payment on a Carnival cruise to the Mediterranean last night. I know what you guys are about to say. About how I should have taken the money and put it into a 6month CD paying 1.5 %, or going and buying some scotch, but maybe I can do all three with my new found wealth.

Amusing. I hear Carnival likes to skuttle boats out that way.
