Default Weight of lt1/t56 setup??

Mainly for shipping purposes but also out of curiosity, I'm trying to find out the weight of an lt1 and t56 (including parts necessary to make the m6 swap). Doesn't have to be spot on, but if anyone can give me a round-about number, that'd be great.

Or maybe if any of you have purchased a t56 swap, how much did shipping run you?

I'll take an estimated guess, about 530-550lbs. Avg Gen 1 (iron heads and intake) ranks in around 575lbs.
