Depends which engine... I would guess that the iron headed TPI 305 in yours is about 645-700 lbs with all the bracketry.

Most sources quote 560 lbs for a basic iron headed long block from intake manifold to pan. The TPI is heavier obviously than a carb. Throw in your accessories and brackets depending on your options and I'll take back my original estimate and say about 625 lbs.

The Motown All Aluminum small block built by Super Chevy is around 465 lbs.
