Thank you for your comments, I had considered carbon but the cost down here in Oz is exorbitant and the company I have pencilled in as the number one pick doesn't to my knowledge offer this option.
I am not looking at very low profile tyres as I want to fill the wheel arches properly and will use some form of halibrand replica, but I will research the weight factor in all this.
Finally I am more than happy to post pics once I start anything substantial but realistically this is still probably several years away, unless I win a lottery somewhere!!
I am still keen to get any feedback on aluminium ford blocks as this is a substantial lump of metal that would reduce overall weight considerably. Is there anyone with a comment on the motor issue?
I am all eyes (ears??).
Slowy
