I've weighed stock 1969 351-W block and it came out to 160 pounds and if I recall correctly, the Ford SVO 351-W aluminum block was a tad over 100 pounds and right at 5 g's or more.....you can save almost that much weigh for a lot less money on a car elsewhere.....I would love to have an all aluminum block, just can't justify the expense when a Dart block is half the price, I'd rather take the extra money and spend it on top shelf parts to put in the motor........
