Toby-

I went with an all aluminum KC motor for my ERA in order to keep the weigt down and performance up. If you look at the details of the entire installation, I believe you can match the weight of a small block with aluminum heads. Aluminum flywheel, QT bellhousing, even the light weight pulleys Keith put on my engine all add up to weight savings. I have a small battery mounted in the back. My goals was 50/50 weight and under 2350 lbs, wet. Don't know if I'll get there, but I will be close.

I say do it!
