Hi Mark,
The W is 168 pounds, the C is 170 pounds.
both thinwall castings. The W is taller, but the C has that cast timing cover & water outlet.
I'm curious, you mentioned having a 550 bhp motor by next spring, what are your thoughts, which direction are you headed?

I picked up a used Roush 427R motor serial#013, Has Dart iron block 193 pounds. The block is a work of art capable of 2000 HP according to Dart web site.

Yes, I took the easy way out but this way I don't have to disassemble the mostly stock 351C that is currently in my 71 pushbutton. I will keep it on the stand for any future unknown plans.

That's not the easy way out Mark, it was your choice, and its a good one. Well done. Crate motors aren't cheap. Don't put yourself down like that. Too many other dweebs that will do that for you. It may not be my "choice" but no one, including me, says it has to be. Hey, that big torque monster ought to be fun! Enjoy.
Did they specify what cam they're running?
Oh, and I agree, the Dart blocks are, (here it comes) BITCHEN!

Does this mean you will have an extra engine? I think that is the way to go. When one engine starts to have issues, get the other one ready with the latest improvements and swap them.

Roush does not give cam specs. "Proprietary Information" It is a hydraulic roller
