I was hoping the Ecoboost would be lighter than the LS1 at 385Lbs.
Plus with the LS1 I can use the rear transmission for better weight distribution.

Is the new 5.0 all aluminum?

I'm trying to keep the total vehicle weight down to around 2000 lbs so light weight is a must plus a heavy engine in a light car is not the best for handling characteristics.

I'd love to see Ford start supporting the Ecoboost line as a crate engine's...

Thanks
