LQ4 complete weight

OK I’ve searched till my fingers are bleeding (see links below) and know someone here can answer this in a minute so here goes. I am curious about the actual weight of a complete LQ4. I know it is 93 pounds heavier than the LS1, but I’m seeing way too many different weights to know what is right.

Bottom line LQ4 (complete), what does she weigh?

Thanks!

OK I'll answer my own question. I'm saying LQ4 = 527 (434 + 93). Reality might be a scratch lighter.

Couple extra links.

Looks like I was off by seven pounds. To help out the next guy searching for the actual weight, it appears that the right number is 520 LBS per Will Handzel’s “Chevy LS1/LS6 V-8s” book.
