Best I can find The LS2 is about 180 lbs lighter than the old cast iron inline 6. The fun part is going to be the 350 hp difference.
The Mark 8 used Ford's 8.8" diff. internals. They are an open diff. because the traction control would handle the wheel spin. Since I plan to use the Mark 8 anti lock brakes I am going to try the traction control. If it don't work then I'll put a locker diff. and a gear ratio close to the 06 vette.
