Depends on what the block is made of, cast iron or aluminum. So which one do you have?

Not clear if this is assembled engine or just the block?

and the aluminum block weighs 80 lbs less (per this)

There were some 'make it lighter' versions in the mid 70s (but that may have been more related to things besides the block (forged vs. cast crank?)

Doug Dutra says the high deck (198/225) cast iron block should weigh 138 lbs and the low deck (170) should weigh 128 lbs
