Default Gen III Iron vs Al Block Weight?

Sorry if this has been asked before, I did a quick look in archive, but what is the weight difference of the Iron and Aluminum blocks? For anyone who has swaped from one to the other, does it make a big difference in handling either way? And this probably isnt the right place to put this, but is there a search feature in the archive or on the site?

thanks.
millis.

And yes. There is a search button to the left of where it says Welcome, millis. At the very top of the screen on the far right hand side.
See the attached picture for further details.

We put a 408 iron block in my buddies 35thSSLE and it handles WAY wild compared to before, of course he still needed to get an alignment done too, so maybe not an equal comparison. We installed a tubular K with the 408, but you hit the torque pedal and the front searches for sky easily.
