IIRC the 4.0 weighs less to boot.

No offense but it look like the manifold going to crack easily. No matter what I'd like to see a turbo charged V8.

How big is that pipe going to the turbo. I would have to guess 2.5-3.0".

I would agree there are some improvement to be made but its a good start and like you said on your webstie. For you the power you want you dont need to go crazy on details.

Cant wait to see it running

40lbs on account of the fact that the 3.0 has a cast iron block vs the all aluminum (steel cylinder sleeved) 4.0. In all honesty, 40lbs isn't all that much though....

the pipe installed is not going to be the final product, just there for test fit purposes...so that's why it looks flimsy...

anyway, keep up the good work and sorry I couldn't meet up today...

Well DUH!

pound for pound benefit goes to larger displacement. But Ill pick the powerplant that can take the most pounds on stock internals with just lowered compresion.
