Here is a surprising tidbit.............friend is a Ford stalwart in one of our bench racing sessions it came up that a 5.0 liter V8 with aluminum heads and light flywheel weighs in at 375lbs. A complete T-5 tranny to match is 92 lbs so basically the package is not much more than an SR20 AND the V8 easy puts out 300HP with little effort .
The thing that got me is how cheap the stuff is.........$500 for alloy heads (bare)........................now if I had a spare 1200 I might be tempted to play with this......................as if I have the time.
