I've found this really hard to determine. There are various charts on the
net, but I don't know if they're apples-to-apples: that is, complete
assemblies, fully dressed, etc.
The only real fact I was able to find was from a GM performance page on
bare 350CID block castings: aluminum was ~90 lb. less than cast iron.
Figure in aluminum heads as well, and it would _seem_ that an aluminum
Chevy 350 would be comparable or less in weight to a cast iron Ford 302,
but I'm totally lacking in genuine information.
