Follow Ups	Quick Question. Block Weight - Import-Driven 13:05:10 04/26/05 I'd bet Ash or Bernie would know. Try emailing either of - Dave N 13:12:15 04/26/05 Hmm.. It weighs 1 lb more than a chevy 350 block.. - Ash's Z 13:13:35 04/26/05 that much for JUST the block? - Zluster(Project Platypus) 13:22:43 04/26/05 I could be wrong on the actual weight, but I remember - Ash's Z 14:04:14 04/26/05 that is very suprising...182cu=350cu weight? (n/m) - shawnc 13:27:29 04/26/05 Bigger and more bores = less mass in the block (n/m) - NytWolf 13:29:48 04/26/05 ah ok. Understood now. Thankyou (n/m) - shawnc 13:37:50 04/26/05 Is the 350 block aluminum? Iron is ~ 3x denser than Al. (n/m) - Scotts94z32 13:37:54 04/26/05 yeah, think he might be reffering to the LS1 (n/m) - PhishZ 13:40:12 04/26/05 No, I'm not.

And so if the LS1 350 block was Al versus the Fe - Scotts94z32 14:40:14 04/26/05 Hmm...if that's so... - inf 13:33:56 04/26/05 size /= weight, DOHC /= pushrod, hoodline, etc. (n/m) - MedManZ 13:38:53 04/26/05 90* V8, especially a DOHC, is much wider and a little longer - PhishZ 13:39:07 04/26/05 that's the bare block. Add the extra weight of larger - boileralum 13:46:14 04/26/05 do you mean the aluminum ls1 block? or the 350 4bolt/2bolt - z324u 14:06:52 04/26/05 No. The block that we weighed was a cast-iron chevy - Ash's Z 14:19:05 04/26/05 The block itself weighs about 130 lbs. - Marshall 14:59:28 04/26/05 I can confirm that. - ZFreak (Dallas) 23:01:18 04/26/05
