Weight on 617 engine components

For anyone keeping track in their department of odd information:

617 bare block = 135 pounds. All studs in and liners, no main caps.

617 bare head = 65 pounds. Guides in, studs in. No valves in.

Its a bit more than your average engine stand can hold safely FYI if you get the idea.

We don't get many 'chevy small blocks' in these 'ere parts! - i'm in the land of $6+ a gallon

From trawling the net I get a figure of about 750lbs which seems a lot

Anyone know for sure?

I'v heard a figure of around 538 pounds for a 617.952 (turbodiesel motor). Does this seem about right? It IS more than a chevy small block - complete!
