Well, waiting 2 days for my son to be home to help me put the block up on the engine stand. I texted him today again, and said when he gets home to tell me so that we can get the block up.
He gets home and walks inside and says “Done”. He picked the block up, steadied it, and slipped it onto the stand by himself. I wouldn’t even try this as the stand would want to roll across the floor. Lol
So how much does a bare block weigh BTW? I could lift it if needed, but not lift it and put it on a stand. I did a search and couldn’t find the weight.

Anyway, NOW I can start getting something done!
