Does anyone know how much a fully dressed 3rd gen Hemi weigh? How does it compare weight-wise to the LA, RB, or 2nd gen Hemi with the necessary accessories installed?

The reasons for asking are to get an idea of what installing a 3rd gen Hemi will do for weight distribution as well as choosing torsion bars for the front end.
 
Multiple sources list it at 533 lbs."Must" be with accessories ? Seems a lil' heavy, to me but ? You could plop another $4k down, and save approx. 100 lbs with alum. block. I would like to hear what an alum. headed,int.,timing/h2o pump, sbm. weighs. Anybody ? ateam.:read2:

This is just the information I was looking for! Thanks to all. - 2 Darts
 
One of the differences to keep in mind is that the 3G Hemi's center of gravity is lower, considering it has aluminum heads sitting up high vs. the older engines heavier heads.
