Is 305 engine weight less than 350?

Does a 305 engine weigh less than a 350 given equal induction systems (i.e. TPI)?

If there is a weight difference, is one component (block?) is significantly lighter
than the other? Or is the rotating *** 'y different in weight between the two?

They weigh virtually the same. Yes the 305 pistons weigh less than 350 pistons (larger diameter = larger mass), but it is a very small amount not worth caring about.
