How much different is the FP350 from the XS Aluminator 5.2?

How much does your car weigh?

The Voodoo engine was running fine. Pulled it and sold it. Wanted a more track focused engine. The FP350s engine has a forged rotating assembly and can take high revs for an extended period of time. I was able to install solid engine mounts, Watson catch can, solid trans mount, FP350s oil cooler and a JLT cold air intake.

The engines are the same with the following differences: The FP350s has the 12 qt road race oil pan, GT350 intake, and comes with a flywheel, pressure plate and dual disc clutch. The Aluminator has the GT350 10 qt composite oil pan, no flywheel, clutch or pressure plate, dual bore 65mm bore throttle body and Cobra Jet tuned intake. The Cobra Jet tuned intake will not fit under the hood of the GT350.

Power should be about the same

I beleive the FP350S also comes with the upgraded valve train M-6505-FP350S also.
