David,

I searched the SC forum and found a lot of posts with 'hood weight' info in them.

THis one seems to have most straightforward answer

Thanks Dave,

The 2UZFE Iron shortblock is about 82 lbs heavier then the 1UZFE shortblock. I was thinking by changing stock hood to CF hood will reduce some weight.
