    i would think that would be good the alum bbc will be about the same as a sbc with alum heads . iron big block or a iron tall deck with alum heads is 588 with a chevy bow tie block. the dart big M would be bit more . so moving it back some more would help .get it on the scales and see were your at. the lb is now .would be nice to mock it up so you could slip it back and forth .to see were you would be with what block your going to use. you could do it with math .when you get the basic weigth down get it back to far you will not need a drive shaft just a coupler
