Dayum!!!
There's alot of iron in those pieces fer sure.
What about cost?
I know, I know....
IF I was worried about money I wouldn't be hot-rodding, motorcycling, flying or collecting guns, guitars etc...
Aluminum intake is a given, water pump is cool, but aluminum heads still scare me.
I know, there are millions of them out there now doing fantastic service.
Old habits die hard.
Within 50 pounds you say?
An old friend of mine in Texas is a Ford V8 guru, maybe I'll be picking his brain a little more...
Keep the info coming, you guys ROCK!
