Default THANKS Bandit!

I was wondering if the aluminum FE cuts enough weight from the cast iron block, to make the car "handle" like a SB car.

I recently helped a friend here in St. Louis pick up his cast iron block FE SPF in Ohio, and got a chance to drive the car also.

I am not a track guy, but there seemed to be a differance in the front (IMO), with the front "pushing" into the curves. Poor discription, but that is what I felt.

I like BB torque, and FE looks, and sounds like KC can build a monster that will hold up, but will the car drive like my SB does????

PS I first will have to sell my car.....pooh!
