When a 302 replaced the 2.25L LR four in my Land Rover the weight was
very close as well. Really heavy four cylinder engines. I ended up
using the low compression heads so I could run regular gas and the small
500 CFM four barrel for fuel economy. The engine still had more power
it idle than the LR four had a peak.

Folks who race them talk about undesirable frame flexing. It is my
understanding that the front spring towers could at least use a brace.
But you should know better than I.
