Any guess on weight of a 400 short block minus everything but crank, pistons and rods (all still installed)

Thanks

My guess is right around 300lbs.
WANTED: NOS or excellent condition 72-74 4 speed shifter boot for bench or centre armrest car, part number 3467755. It's a rubber boot that looks like it's sewn up leather.

WANTED: My original 440 blocks. Serial # 2A188182 and 3A100002

they are around 75-90 pounds dependent upon forged or cast iron, 400 or 440

Wow, they seemed a lot lighter.
