Back to the subject:

As the aluminum 429/460 block saves 112 lbs off of the weight, a few modifications to the engine and the car could easily save another 100 lbs up front.

The Superformance websight has the 460 Cobra weight at 2,660 lbs. This is probably with a 460 crate engine and no aluminum block. Subtract the 112 lbs. for the aluminum block and you have 2,548 lbs. Subtract another 100 lbs. with various aluminum products and front end modifications and you have 2,448 lbs. The Superformance websight has the 351 Cobra weight at 2,485 lbs.

It kind of throws out the door how the small block Cobra is so "light" and the big block 460 Cobra weigh's as much as a bus theory. Ask any "real" race car driver and he will tell you that on the small tracks it is not the weight of the engine (because the weight of a big block Cobra can be reduced...) that is making the car hard to go through the corners, it's the MONSTROUS torque.
