My 390 stroker weighed 490 pounds with aluminum heads and intake, water pump, FPA headers, and alternator.  No starter or scattershield.  Hope that helps - Jay

Yeah i think a stock fully dressed 352 is a hair over 700lbs  so there is a lot of savings to be had there.

I just installed my Edel RPM Performer heads yesterday. With springs and valves they weighed 27 pounds. The old c4ae's with springs and valves weighed 47. That's 20 pounds a side.
I think the original intake weighed 85-90 pounds. The RPM performer was like 23ish??
Total saving of about 110 pounds.

Anyway.

FE is not that heavy. Closer to 620lbs.  You are closer to weight of a 385 series engine.

I often hear how heavy the Ford engines are, so do some comparison.
  Seems like the chevy is about 40lb heavier then the comp Ford
