I've been following this thread since the first post b/c I love the 335/385 series canted valve Ford engines. I've built quite a few 335's, never a 385....just curious, how heavy are they? My 427 body-style has an all iron 302 in it and it handles VERY well, if I could get close to that by going all alloy in a 385 I might consider it.

Torque is FUN!!!! These things are real torque monsters, and when you're talking about torque there's no replacement for displacement, so the big CID #'s are exciting. I just want to be able to turn a corner on a dirt road without it sliding off the road....gotta get some weight off the front end!

Anyone running lightweight in a 429/460 stroker?

Cheers!
