I have not weighed it, but I have pulled the crap apart enough times on my own to know its not as light as you think.

Besides, the weight penalty we are talking about here is worth about 10 hp, hardly noticeable in probably 95% of people given how they drive their cars.

Hookers and blow FTW.

Good luck finding an LS6 or LS2 in good running shape for what you have to spend.

Even doing all the labor yourself, I think you are still gonna come up short.

Sounds like a project for sure.
