DeTom, my weight conscious friend,
SJ Performance has not announced a weight for their alloy block that I can remember, ahem, emphasis on the word remember.
The 351W alloy block sold by Ford Racing weighs 92 pounds. The iron Cleveland block weighs in at 170 pounds. It would be safe to conservatively estimate SJ Performance's alloy Cleveland block will save about 70 pounds.
An alloy block, heads, intake & water pump should save in the neighborhood of 225 pounds.
The topic is 385 swaps.
heavy vibes from your friend on the DTBB, George
