Normal weight for Pistons, Rods and Cranks?

I'm looking for engine parts and am wondering if anybody knows the normal/average weight for stock pistons, rods and a crank? thanks

Josh

I don't even have a remote clue what "normal" is any more, but a 350 piston assembly with a cast piston, cast/forged rod, rod cap, cap bolts, rings, bearing shells, and piston pin goes on the scale at about 1380g. I've never weighed a crankshaft. Soem rods are heavier, some pistons are heavier, and some rods/pistons are lighter. That number is for a regular old 2-bolt SBC 350.
