Ass heavy with the big blocks? Does the stagger off set the weight?

The goal is to lighten the big blocks up with aluminum heads, intakes and headers to get close to stock dress small block weight. Then minus the trs and transmission weight and staggering the engines this should allow the boat to level out on plane and fly flatter. The key is to install the new racing fuel tanks in the right location to keep the plan working. The Bravo setup should work out well allowing the engines not to be to far forward like the trs application with transmissions. If I calculated correctly It should work out to exactly what I want from this project. I purchased this hull for only this setup.
