The early M/P mega blocks are thought to be lighter than the later ones. I know we only saved around 70lb when we swapped from a iron block 528 to a KB block 572, many years ago. Used the same top end, the crank and rods would have been heavier on the 572 but I remember expecting a lot more weight savings at the time.
