I realize one is lighter but there is also a price difference. I'm building a mild torque monster 318/390 stroker. The motor will never see anything higher than 5800 RPM, besides I already have a modified 2004R overdrive installed, 1800 stall converter and 3.73 gears in the car so I don't need high RPMs anyway. Just lots of torque from 1K to 5800 RPM. Car will be used for street cruising with the occasional stomping of the gas pedal.
