Default assembeled longblock weight

I've shipped lots of these things in the past and can't for the life of me remember what a GEN III longblock weighs. No manifolds, no accessories. Looking for just the engine weight, Ill have to add the weight of the pallet to it.

What's the weight difference in an assembled iron block vs an aluminum block?

Yeah, I had 425 in my head Ill probably end up shipping it 500 total weight just so I don't go over weight and get charged.

Ben PM Rex if it's really important, he ships out a motor or two a week, he could tell you that info in a heartbeat, or Richard for that matter.
