Message	very clearly that the VG30 block weighed 1# more than a cast iron chevy 350 block; no other parts except the bare block. The actual weight of 161/162 lbs may not be correct though..

(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.

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
