Thank you Very Much, SilverZ28!
I have heard people tell me there was a 300lb difference, and nearly scared me out of considering an Iron block for my build, In which I am currently in the research process.

some of the older lq9 or lq4's came with iron heads, whitch that would add another 50 on top of the 88, but thats still 138lbs. Most any motors now from gm all have aluminum heads, it must have been a budget thing in the earlier years.
