first off i have a 88 s-10 blazer 2dr/2wd...it is lowered 5/5 (belltech drop spindles/lowering coils/drop shocks/3" lowering leaf springs/2" blocks) and i have a 4.3L TBI auto and i am wanting to do a V8 swap..here are my question i need answers to please...

how much does a stock 4.3L TBI weigh thats in my blazer??

how much does a V8 350 TBI out of a 88-91 fullsize chevy weigh??

how much does a 350 CARBED out of a 75-85 fullsize chevy weigh??

i have been told by lots of people that the weight of the V8 will lower me another inch (1") then what i am now with my 4.3L...and i cant really afford to drop another inch cause im really low now...but i need to know how much those motors weigh so i can really figure out if i can do the swap or not....i have already removed all AC/HEATER parts and shaved firewall and taken out my fender wells on my blazer so thats some weight that i have already removed (i know its not alot of weight but it is a little)..

so any help would be great!thanks for your time.
