Hey Charlie , there is a place that did have engine specs including weights , but unfortunately the web site is now under construction.You might want to keep checking there because it should be up soon.The web site is www.fomoco.com, as far as weights I remeber the weights being a little different with the 250 I-6 being 425lbs. and a 302 being 475lbs. (351C=525lbs), so that shows the big difference between a 200 car and a 302 car when considering weight and springs.Ricky, when I converted my 70 the past few months the (200 I6) brakes were in great cond. but they were too wimpy for my 302 , the car didn't stop worth a damn, and the front end floated around too and leaned too much in the corners with the 200 springs too, my point is that I would suggest if doing a 302 swap do not use the I6 parts because it is too dangerous.Now since you have done swaps I am sure you know this , all I am doing is giving my suggestion.
