Seems like I remember a Toploader is about 95 lbs. That does beat messing with an A833 Mopar - I think it weighs about 115 lbs. I've been helping a friend assemble a restored 69 Hemi Roadrunner 4 speed and our rather husky drivetrain mechanic buddy was helping when the motor and transmission were assembled to be dropped in. He was just quietly sitting there watching us when suddenly he just rose to his feet, snatched up that big lump of iron, walked over and slammed it into the bell housing of the Hemi, all the way in, all in one motion. The owner and I were just standing there with our jaws slack.
