I think one thing that helps the suby is the price.. I've heard people on these boards get the engine for under $500! that's CHEAP!
if those were the choices I had between, I'd probably also go suby, cheaper, and more suitable for our transmissions. plus I think it looks more stock when installed. I think the weight difference between an LS1 and suby is relatively minimal, and any weight you save on the block is probably added back elsewhere. I'm not sure what an aluminum block v8 weighs, I think someone stated once tho, that a standard v8 was about 200 lbs heavier than a type 4, IIRC. |
