Lightweight Big Block Chevy Mock Up Block wanted to Borrow
 
Looking for a lightweight big block mock up block to check hood clearance in my '67.

I'm using GM '67/'68 Big Block Frame mounts
GM Open air cleaner Drop Base I believe 2"
AC212CW Air Filter
GM Open air cleaner lid + Wingnut

I need to see if my 163 Intake will fit with this setup or I'll try a 569 LS6 intake. The goal is to keep the standard NON-SS Flat Hood although the 163 will outperform the 569. Any input is greatly appreciated.

I am doing the same on my 69. Check CL for a junk 396/402 I have seen them for around 200 bucks...not lightweight since whole engine but sell it when done and no time constraints on the borrowing

Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately where my car is located at the moment it would be challenging to maneuver a cherry picker. Its on the dirt behind a '55 Belair and '52 Business Coupe.
If I don't get my hands on a foam block I may bite the bullet and spend a day moving the cars around.
