I personally think that the whole weight issue is blown out of proportion for the way the vast majority of us use our cars. That being said,I do recognize the advantage of weight savings when practical. I think your choice of motors should center on what you really want, as number one priority,and work toward that goal.If you use any other criteria you will regret it later and ultimatly want to change to the motor you really wanted in the first place. I dare say that for most of us it is a 427so,not all ,but most. So if you really want a 427so I suggest trying to make that happen. If it really does not matter then a nice 392w can be had for 6,000 or so and will probably perform quite well. chuck
