Combining these figures, 2.7 g / cm3 is equal to 168.6 lb / cu ft.
The density of granite is not a specific figure, however - different samples have different densities because the mixture of constituent minerals is not in a precise ratio. I use the figure of 2.7, but the link above about granite says that values can very between 2.65 and 2.75. This gives a range of potential values between 165.4 and 171.7.
