Alloy gen 3/4 engines with all accessories weigh around 90kg less than the cast iron equivalent. Sorry I can't remember where I read that, but it sounded feasible to me at the time so I filed it away.
Are you doing power/weight calculations for the drag strip? If not, I'd be more interested in torque delivery (eg, traction) and gearing than HP. My 2 cents!
