Has anyone had the pleasure of comparing similar cars having these two diffrent blocks? With an aluminum block, do you run different fron shocks and springs?
Thanks,

Even an all iron 427 Cobra has a 47/54 F to R weight balance.
If light front end weight was such an issue how come every small block Cobra owner keeps reminding us dumb-ass big block Cobra boys that their cars are 10 times better because they are more nimble, better handling, quicker turning, on and on and on.
