Default dressed weight

What does a "dressed", (or a bare but complete) LS1/LS6 weigh?

Sorry if this is "common knowledge", but unless I'm not using the search function right, this info isn't on this board & I posted here 'cause this seems like basic swap info that'd be good to know.

Anyone know the weight of a dressed LS1/LS6? (or bare but complete?)


Searched but this doesn't appear anywhere on this BBS (unless I'm searching "wrong")

On another board a complete LS1 was weighed with all accessories, starter, flexplate, wiring harness, PCM, exhaust manifolds with cats and it came to 480lbs. With headers you could drop an easy 20lbs if not more. It is very light for a V8.
