I had the engine, and I didn't want to build yet another 240. With the notch and 4 link, you can get it low enough to handle like a sports car, with bags, or coil overs. The bag setup really doesn't add any weight vs. coil overs, and it is adjustable. Lots of drag race guys put bags in the rear, so they can load up one side for traction.
And like you said, the stock suspension needs weight to hook up anyway. Stock suspension will never hook up like a 4 link.
