Hello from downunder, you have got my attention, I had planned on a sbf, but was unable to make a decision on sizing 331-408 and of course the different blocks involved!

I ran FE390 bored in my first Cobra, nice road car, cast iron Toploader and heavy Jag diff (1250KGS WET) - but to heavy for really fast circuit use.
To build a good smallblock I guess it would consume approx USD$20000 or $30k of our dosh, I reckon a reasonable 10.1 comp 427 with a Shelby or other alloy block would be the ticket, or not cost a helluva lot more, this solves the problem of deciding on a stroker small block, and would make this car quite light still, with all alloy running gear etc. Has anyone weighed a complete alloy 427, it would have to be under 500Lbs?

Very interested!
