Yeah, but that's assuming you get an all-aluminum engine like the LS1's. The vast majority of the conversions use older cast iron blocks, which weigh considerably more.

Any smallblock makes for a great drag car though. I always get a kick out of hearing someone fire up an RX-7 with a built smallblock in it... and watch the casual folk standing around it freak out when they realize it's not "normal."
