I've been reading some other threads about having a 482 FE aluminum. It seems we're talking about approximately the same price or there abouts.

Questions:

427 SBF Aluminum weight vs. 482 FE Aluminum?
427 iron weight vs. 482 aluminum?
427 iron weight vs 482 iron?

Does anyone have the approximate weights? I want to say the 427 SBF Aluminum is about 475 lbs or so? Sound about right? How competitive would the 482 FE Aluminum be with a 427 SBF Aluminum (assuming both were set up well by a professional)? I'm talking track times both a road course and 1/4 mile times assuming everything else were similar with both cars minus the differences in the engines.

Would you expect to get 50K miles out of the SBF? Or more?
