I've read a lot of stuff about the Boss 5.4 being basically a truck engine pressed into service in a road car. Whether that is true or not is beside the point as it seems to do a pretty good job.. What I'm curious about is whether the Chevs that Holden uncrate and whack in the Dunnydores weigh more or less than the Boss/Triton engine. Are they any better off than us regarding kg's hanging over the front axle?

LS1/2 is lighter than Ford's 4.0L inline 6, which is about 70kg lighter than a Boss 5.4
