I stand by my previous statements based on considerable research. The SBC with Alu heads wieghs about 450 lbs...pretty much the same as the catalogued 911 NA engine and less than a 930 set up. In spite of being maybe 5.7 liters big ( not 2.0-3.8). It employs thin-wall casting techniques that people like Jag... decades earlier... can only dream of. Talk about Iron Lumps !!...the Jag has to be king here.
My point is that posts that *continue* to malign good design like the SBC don't match the facts...and such comments continue certain folk-lore that simply isn't true. That was the cruz of my mesage and please take it that way.
