> I've heard complaints that the > weight of a steel block engine can affect the handling. Complaints from who - anyone who has actually done it? I've had a steel block Chevy motor in my car for over 6 years, drive it almost daily in good weather, and if anything it handles BETTER than a stock one. There is way too much misinformation on this list lately - please don't add to it with unfounded statements like that. If you have doubts about whether something works, why not ask someone who has actually done it? -- Darryl Tinnerstet Specialty Automotive McCleary, WA
