I will refrain from posting mine til after I see some of the others out there. Mine is a KB aluminum low deck block with B1 heads. I did weight my old World Hemi block and it was 308 especially after weighing the current engine. "I am not ashamed to confess I am ignorant of what I do not know."

Don't have a scale capable of weighing one. Will be interested in the reponses. 2012 422 Allstars NSS Champion 2013 422 Allstars NSS Champion 2014 422 Allstars NSS Champion
