Engine weights for my rex

I was thinking about building an engine and was wondering if knows if there is a significant weight difference between the B16/B18 blocks.

bump

for an interesting thought. If anything, I would expect a non-vtec engine to weigh less than a vtec one, and then ranking by lower liter size to larger, but I dunno...I'd like to see figures.

Very very close, I would imagine. The B18 blocks are only like 8mm taller, but I don't know if the B16A head weighs more (it might), due to all the extra reinforcements and crap.
