true, I'll have to check weights tonight...the bigest thing is that the engine is ontop of the trans facing backwards in front of the tires...with the 350 the trans will be behind the engine behind the tires

its not like your gonna brign the front end off the ground with a basic 350. though over a short period of time im sure the chassis would begin to become distorted if there is no additional bracing.

well its a bolt on 350 with a cam...it ain't stock cept the heads and rotating parts
