Shiny new parts

The weight (in lbs) of one iron head and rocker arms

The weight of one aluminum head with rocker arms

Side by side

1.8" intake/1.45" exhaust valve on iron head, 2.02" intake/1.6" exhaust on aluminum head


The caliper is set to the width of the exhaust port on the iron head, look at the difference!

The caliper is set to the width of the intake port on the iron head, big difference!

The aluminum flywheel is 11 lbs lighter than the stock iron one

Comp Cams steel roller rocker arms
Crane XE282HR roller cam. It's an aggressive cam typically used in street driven stroker small block Fords. I am using it because, in theory, it will not have so much torque that it becomes difficult to drive, but will have a lot of power at the top of the rpm range.
