Default ls1 vs ls2 weight?

Hi guys,
Just wondering if anyone knows the weight of a LS1 compared with the LS2?
I've read that the exhaust manifolds were lighter on the LS2, but discounting them, any differences?

Should be minimal if any, I would say 5 lbs at most either way.

Yah, there is no reason for them to be any big difference in weight...

Makes sense that it is lighter because it has less mass on the block with bigger bores.

I looked it up a long time ago and dont remember where I found the INFO but the LS2 is 15 lbs lighter than the LS1. This is 100% accurate.
