354 Hemi weight question

Post by mart »

I'm wondering just how light you can get a 354, assuming using lightweight
everything - ie - aluminum intake and distributor, Hotheads aluminum heads,
aluminum Chevy water pump conversion, aluminum oil pan, a mini starter etc.,
etc? Does anybody have some 'real world' actual figures?

According to Rob Walker of Hot Heads a 354 with aluminum heads,intake,front drive,valve covers weighs 429lbs. This is WITHOUT; oil,flywheel,starter and alternator. He didnt mention the oil pan- assuming its steel. Hope this helps.
