    rather i use an LSx that everyone who drifts with it cracks blocks?
    i have 6 friends that are having to spend 4k for a new block.

    ive overheated this thing like 6 times and have ZERO problems. Sure is it outdated? of course. but its way more reliable, and cheaper, and easier to find parts for than an LS. i built the engine, and got a trans for 1/4 what an LS costs.

    and they arent that heavy. they arent light, but they arent heavy. under 15 a wheel when i weighed them.
    but with 300ftlb of tq, a little heavy doesnt really matter.

    its not always about having everything light on a vehicle. you have to haave a balance an this is what he has here. im not a fan of fords an their parts but this is a good combo. too bad you dont have a passenger seat because i would love to ride in it! what tranny did you put in? i may have missed that part. would be sick if you put the close ratio tko trans in. would be tearing the track up.
