Puting a SB Ford on a diet is a little pricey, but not a big deal. My 351 car is actually lighter than it was with the 302. Aluminum head, aluminum intake, Optima Battery, Sanden compressor (yes it has AC). With the sway bar package it actually handles and rides considerably better than the wifes 2.3 car and is A LOT more fun to drive.
At 75 with the OD trans it actually gets about 3 MPG more the the 2.3.
Besides what you you rather see when you open the hood,
a 2.3
a reasonably stock SB (I went the sleeper route on the 351, stock valve cover and painted the heads and intake)
or a dressed out SBLast edited by Mike P; 04-23-2008 at 05:19 AM.
I've NEVER seen a car come from the factory that couldn't be improved.....

It would be nice if this up and down crap would cease.
