Good thing is, you've came to the right place and will find alot of answers here.
I thought about that. I may end up selling the BBC for something else. But it was free, so it helps the budget. If I go with an aftermarket front subframe, which is likely, many of them are lighter than the stock unit. Martz claims ~200 lbs lighter, which does offset the weight somewhat for the front, but enough? I do not know.

I found this forum by accident, and it seems to be the kind of place I need to hang out more.
