Thanks for all the replies. I'm curious to know some of your opinions on the ability of this engine light weight vs a aluminum FE 427-482. Sounds like it's similar for the output (HP & TQ)? If set up correctly with efi, could really be a terror on street and track. What would you expect to get for a lifespan in terms of miles? Would it be better to go with an aluminum Keith Craft 482 that would be similar in power out put and get a longer life?

I've read the threads associated to big block vs small block with ability to rev faster, etc. It would be nice to have something closer to 600 HP & TQ but also get more then 20K in mileage. What do you think?
