I've looked it up and the weight difference of a cast iron engine with aluminum heads and a full aluminum engine isn't much.(weight-price ratio)

5000-7000 is the price I would pay for a decent engine

I want 350 hp minimum

I'm thinking of ordering it in the USA .

I was looking at all different crate engines .

But for a person with no mechanical background it's hard to see what's the
Best choice.
