Now weigh the water pumps! Exactly, the water pump is negligible, about 1 pound IIRC. I just gutted my 58 pound Mopar resto battery and installed an Odyssey, 29 pounds now. That’s some savings, and even further in front! But yeah, I have AL heads, intake, WP, WPH, headers. Probably weighs what a stock small block weighed from the factory.

Those Oddessey batteries have about 380 CCA, is that enough power to turn over big engines/ high C.R.s? Just found these on Summit... https://www.summitracing.com/parts/brl-b2317rp?rrec=true 17lbs, 475CCA (641 CA @ 32 deg), $200. A review says it will start a 13.1 CR 432 cube engine just fine.
