When I say "all aluminum" on the ERA, that means, mostly, the engine. Intake, heads, water pump, flywheel, etc. should be aluminum to shave the weight. Short of tossing off one, or both, of my roll bars, there is very little I could do to lighten my 2500 lb. weight. Going to an aluminum block would be it. But remember, that's pretty much what the street 427 Cobras weighed back in the day.
