[QUOTE="EricM, post: 1649814, member: 20286"] Iron vs aluminum block is only 80 lbs difference with the 4.6L block, which is essentially the same as the 5.0L block. Both 5.0 and 7.3 engines have aluminum heads and plastic intakes. 7.3 has way less valvetrain and timing parts, so the heads are probably significantly lighter than a 5.0L. Hardly "heavy AF". I still think it's gonna be the GT500 engine though, since it's certified for emissions and all that. They know how the GT500 engines are holding up in the real world by now as well. (Hint- it's going to be way more reliable than the POS 5.2 Voodoo engines) [/QUOTE]
