I had the cool fuel setup. MEFI3 setup.
I took all that off, went with a 2 bar map sensor, SX fuel pumps & regulator & custom tune.

Jason I know you dont have a 525, but if you were to use it as a reference point for a BBC: as per Mercury's site the 525 weights about 1200 lbs, I would guess that the Dana's weigh about the same as the CMI since you dont have cast iron. Then you would need to add the weihgt for your blower kit say apx 100lbs.. Hope this helps.. Jamie / Lakeside

On a different note, what are you up to now. Between the carbon fiber questions & now this. You sparked my curiosity as to what you are working on now.
