Default Engine Weight LT1 vs LT4

I just came across something that stated that the weight of the LT1 is 576.4 pounds and the weight of the LT4 is 753.6. Is this correct? I don't see why there would be sooooo much difference in weight. Surely this is not correct????? That is more than some big blocks out there.

The transmission must have been attached to the LT4

That is what I thought, but it was a side by side comparison. Maybe an oversite when the information was released. Something was not correct. What is the correct weight of the LT4?

That sounds like the weight of the LT5.

(LT1 and LT4 weigh virtually the same)

I just looked again and it does state LT4. Maybe it is a misprint and is a LT5. Oh well, thanks for the info!

Looks like a typo to me for the LT4...753.6 should have been 573.6. Same problem NASA has!
