There is a weight difference, but I don't think it will make a major difference in the drop. It won't raise it enough that you would really notice the difference. I would imagine the difference of weight in the engine would be offset by the tranny's weight. A TH350 doesn't weigh a whole lot. Most 5.3 engines are iron anyway. The only major weight change would be if you had an aluminum block.
