That is very true. Nothing survives a catastrophic failure like that, not even a Cummins block. But for anything less......

Yeah, it is pretty much free. If I wasn't in the garage, I'd be out getting in trouble somewhere. Or being lazy on the sofa.

That is true. I think it's more like 60#, but I'm not sure. In any case, it's more than a stock block. But, that's not really much of an issue. The balance on these cars tends to be towards the rear, so you end up with more even balance.
IIRC, my car balances about 51% rear, and 49% front. In a Mustang, for instance, the car is already nose heavy.
