Been doing a loading phase with Creatine Jon?? I have several tool rental
shops in my area which rent cherry pickers by the day; $30 a day is typical.
You might want to call around some rental shops in your area and see what
they offer. The block on both the 5.2L and the 5.9L is made of cast iron.
Here is what I found:
-Mopar 273-340 "A" V8: 525 pounds
-Mopar 360 "A": 550 pounds
-Mopar 361-383-400 V8: 620 pounds
-Mopar 413-426W-440 V8: 670 pounds
-Mopar Street Hemi: 765 pounds
-Magnum 4.7L: 438 pounds(complete)
Hope this gives you a rough estimate. Good Luck!
