It is NOT about total engine weight in terms of a nose heavy car which has been discussed countless times here. It IS about the rotational and reciprocating mass of the crank/rods/pistons. There is a significant difference that cannot be negated like can be done with aluminum heads and manifolds.
Maybe Brent or Keith can go in the back and do an actual measurement of the FE and Windsor crank for us.
