Default 327 block weight?

Any here that knows how much a 327 blocks is in kilos? The weight of the block.
Or in pounds? I can use a converter to see how much it is in kilos.

A clean block without any parts on it.

This suggests about 150 lbs (68-ish kgs) bare

See the Chevy Press Release in the posts at:

The raw casting weighed 190 pounds. Would Flint have machined 40 pounds out of it?
