Default ls6 block weight?

Does anyone know of the top of their head what an LS1/6 block weighs? How about a stock crank? I am having one shipped tomorrow and was just curoius if two guys would be able to pick it up with out complaining and put it in the back of a van.

Two guys should be able to lift it no prob...

I helped load my shortblock in the back of a minivan with just 2 guys.

I had one shipped to me. It was around 137 with the box which was mostly cardboard. I'd guesstimate around 130. BTW, I was able to pick it up myself.

Ya bare block is light two guys should easily get it into a truck. I unloaded mine by myself even it wasn't too bad. One trick I used was to bolt the engine stand to the block while it is on the edge of the tailgate. Easier than trying to hold it or maneuver it into place while hanging from an engine hoist.

Cool, thanks for the info guys. I figured it would be liftable just making sure it wasn't to bad. I remember moving my LT1 block around with someone and it was heavy but doable. What about the crank? 50-60?
