Thank you for your kind remarks on the craft. I try. I've recently thought about lighter cranks, rods and such but at the time I was building up on the parts, I honestly did not give it much thought other than aluminum rods being more trouble than what their worth in a street/strip motor. Perhaps with the know how out in the market these days, my next motor will be much more lighter internally and thus less hot combo so as to really have a relatively stock, well sealed motor that really scoots. I've been lurking around with the intention of a Denso unit. IIRC, my Powermaster GM unit is 13 Lbs.
