Just my 2C.
I ran an aluminum 427W in both 1855 and 2584. There were no issues with weight balance, matter of fact it worked really well by planting more weight on the rear. Just an FYI, I had 65k miles between the two cars, ran 150 mph multiple times. I know 4 others running 427W aluminum motors, there are no problems.
