For our car we chose a 408 with a Big mech roller cam does it sound good

,and ya know I cant here the BB engines over mine because usually ther behind me on track they do sound good ,as im passing them.they are great in the straight line but not so much on the twisties,now with a really savy driver and a really big engine who knows, its your car build it your way and enjoy...WB3

WildBill makes a good point, to reduce the understeer you'd want an aluminum BB. This would put you in the ballpark of an iron SB weight wise.

Of course now there's aluminum SB's available too...

I'm going to shut up now.

It's all good.

Thats one of the things I have been trying to find out but no one seems to know. What does a FE motor weigh with Aluminum heads, intake, flywheel and water pump. I have heard everything from 525 to 600, just curious. I do know the cast iron intake manifold from a FE ford makes a great trout line weight.
