Richard - As am sure you know this but beware. All big blocks do not weigh the same. For example that boss aluminum block you mentioned is most likely heavier than a production 460/429 iron block. (depends on the casting dates/codes) All things being equal a iron FE will weigh about 40 to 50 lbs less than most 385's, with a Shelby block even lighter yet. Fact is, a Shelby alloy engine will be lighter than a all iron 351 windsor. If you do this, all I can say is "IT'S ABOUT TIME!"
