6.0 iron block weight vs LS1 aluminum

Anyone know what the weight difference of these two blocks are? Some say as little as 50lbs others say it is 150?

I don't think the bare block would weigh more than ~150 lbs., so I doubt it's 150 lbs more than the aluminum block!? I'd say there might be a ~50 lb difference, but I'm interested to hear if someone has ACTUAL #'s.

That's what I remembered but it was only hearsay so I didn't speak up.
