I have some odds and ends laying around in the shop
and decided to see how they differed - weight wise.
I used digital bathroom scales. I don't know how 
accurate they are but seem decent in other comparisons.

Make                 Head             Crank            Block
Buick 215          14 lbs               35 lbs            71 lbs
Chevy                 40 lbs              48 lbs            157 lbs
Ford                    40 lbs              36 lbs            136 lbs

Both Chevy and Ford are small blocks
All blocks had main caps and nothing else
The heads are each, not a pair, so double it for total difference.
       the heads were also bare - no valves, etc.
Now to put them together.
                                                                    Greg
