A bit different question, but how much does the LO3 engine block weigh ? With pistons, rods and crankshaft still inside the engine, plus the oil pan as well.

I'm not 100% positive but I think I heard that a standard fully dressed engine weighs in at about 450 to 500 pounds.don't quote me on that.I would think that just a short block could come in at 300+.
