I was very pleased with the improvement and consistency not to mention no issues considering it was a new build. Luckily, there was no loss of bladder control!

Thanks!
I haven't scaled the car since the changes, but I imagine it is within 20 lbs of the 3300 it was before since I added motor plates and a remote oil filter. The IAIIA block is supposed to be 138 lbs, OE blocks 195-205 lbs and IAII iron 245 lbs. My block weighed in at 127 lbs after machine work, drilling the deck and opening the oil drains in the valley. That is with the main caps installed.
