Default 1UZ vs 1UZ Vvti block strength?

Is there any known difference in the strength of these blocks. I have both and I would rather build the vvti 1uz since it already has factory cop, and front facing. So is there any known differences in block strenght?

Not that I know of....The rods are lighter and its generally accepted that they are weaker, but block? I don't think so.

Ok I was just wondering because I picked both bare blocks w/crank up and moved them. When I did so the vvti block just felt lighter, idk I'll find out when the time comes.

I think non vvti and vvti blocks are the same, except the heads. vvti heads have better design for flowing.
