Follow up. The Ball engine made the trip to North Carolina this weekend and 
is on the ground by Spencer's shop. We all made a guess on the weight of 
the engine when it was loaded. So I crossed the scale before I left and 
today. Friday I scaled at 20,320lbs , truck - trailer and engine. Today it 
scaled 14,020lbs. So next time someone asks how much a Ball engine weighs 
the correct answer is 6300lbs.
