A long block (heads, cylinder block and bottom end) about 500 lbs. Heads
are about 75 lbs each.

Wow. Isn't that the same weight as a small block Chevy?

That sounds high, I think the VG30DETT is around 500 lbs and it's MUCH
larger than the plain VG30.

I did not include the turbos or manifolds. Turbos with manifolds are about
20 lbs each. It's a cast iron block. My estimate was with stock internals
(complete heads, crank, pan, mains, pistons, and c-rods, etc.)

I've had one of the heads off my 95 (to get to a broken exhaust stud) and I'd be
surprised if it was over 40 lbs.
