A big bloc kcar with aluminum heads and aluinum intake is just a few more pounds than a stock 5.0 with stock heads. I cant remember the exact weight differences but its not as much as you think.. My car and my best friends 460 car both have stock springs.. He has aluminum heads and intake and his actually sits a little high IMO. I have stock V6 springs with iron heads and intake and its JUST RIGHT
