Assuming A/C on the 403, we are looking at a 36 lb difference between it, and the A/C '70 455. Close enough to your 30.

Common knowledge.

And lighter heads. About twenty pounds lighter, for a total of 56? Lets call it 60 lb. Still a heluvalot closer to 20 than 150, which was my point.

It doesn't, however, excuse my failure to catch the A/C error.
