Default 2v head vs 4v head weight??

I need to make more power, but I dont really want to add any more weight to the front end of my mustang than I have too... I want to know what is the weight difference between the 2v head and the 4v head... It seems to me that the 4v heads weight alot more, from the impressions that I am getting. But I dont know.. Does anyone know?

Well I know the aluminum block weights 85lbs. the 96-98 version. I am going to get that as a short block but I want to decide to invest more into my 2v setup or a 4v set up... I am into road racing so I need to take the weight off the nose to get the weight distribution closer to 50/50. But if the compairson isnt that much different then I will go for teh 4v setup.

i hate people who post things with no insight........


tell me how a 4v car will not have any advantage over a 2v?
maybe a couple extra pounds with a couple extra horses?
