Weight of Fuel Injected Small Block

Can anyone give me a good estimate on the weight of an L98, complete with the intake and accessories? For some reason the number 520 lbs is stuck in my head, but I've gone through all the literature I have on the subject and I can't find anything verifying this. I just want to make sure I'm not going to create problems when I put this on a 750 lbs engine stand. A big block doesn't even weigh 750 lbs, does it?

Thanks,
Willie C.

After scouring the internet it seems I was pretty on-target initially. All the weights I've found are between 500 and 540 lbs, which still leaves me more than 200 lbs worth of margin for error.

Thought I would report on my findings in case anyone else was curious. It's a topic you almost never hear anyone ask about.
