Please share your data source for the 200lbs number. I have an 8v here on the stand with balance shafts and all accessories. It's HUGE and heavy.
Have you worked with an LS before? They're also aluminum. They're light and relatively compact. They're easy to modify and perform superiorly to the 944 powerplants across the board and at a lower cost.
Even if we arrive at 200lbs difference eventually (which I doubt when comparing apples to apples)... my point remains. It's a small difference in weight. The point that the number of cylinders somehow relates to the size of brakes required is complete hogwash. Take a 500hp 4cyl swap in a 944 with LIGHTER weight than the 944 engine. Should I go both smaller brakes then? The logic doesn't work. This topic is done.
