The weight difference isn't what you think. I was reading about this also,
and the big fat 3.2 911 motor weighs #510! The 350 with cast iron everything
only weighs #480! They say you can drop #50 off this if you have the
aluminum heads, wich would be a must anyway! Then you go to rebuild the v8,
and it cost's you $300 vs. the $3000 for the 911. I'm not saying the v8 is
the coolest solution, but it is the most logical.
