Engine: OK, what does a studebaker V8 really weigh and leaf spring rate

[5brown1]

I searched the engine weight topic here and found answers from 625 to 710 pounds.
So what does a 259 fully dressed weigh?
Another question: What is the spring rate of 55 President rear leaf springs. I found lots of comments on front springs but nothing helpful on the rear ones.

Thanks

The search function has your answer....in Spades....

Ready to install, complete, air cleaner to oil pan, fan to bell housing, a 259" weighs 695#.

The rear springs are most likely 90#/in.

I have never checked the springs on a 55. I have had a number of 53's and they were all in the range of 135-140 lbs. inch. My 63 Avanti is 150 lbs. inch, on the rears. The dumbest thing I ever did was have a set of 200 lbs. inch springs built for the Avanti. It gave it a stink bug stance.
