I won't forget.

Pond Aluminum FE Block = 120 lbs.
Shelby Aluminum FE Block = 125 lbs.

427 Ford Engine Block, Pond Engine Blocks FAQ
Finished Block 427 FE | Call Us @ 310-538-2914 | Carroll Shelby Engine Company

Aluminum Dart 351W
9.5 = 93 lbs. (9.2 = 91 lbs.)

Difference = 120-93 = 27 lbs.

I'll betcha most of us around here carry 27 extra lbs of fat on their bodies that, if lost, would make that difference negligible.
