What does an Aluminum 215 Buick weigh?
I'm sure it has much to do with the dress of the engine. Cologne engine with a pretty full dress I've heard quoted at 370's lb. What Dave say...
We have ton of information you can sift through.

What duration specs do you prefer for street driven cars vs. say bracket drag car?
It doesn't cost much more to buy a cam that is probably too big for a particular application. "So buy the big one":rolleyes:
Some of this is really to start a discussion of how the the engine is affected by larger cams and what needs to be to happen to the tune-up to...
Like the average guy who buys a cam and can't make it run as smooth as the stock one and wonders why the manifold vacuum isn't as high as the...
Separate names with a comma.
