jump over to ls1 tech in the drag race section..they got a weight reduction list that gives weights..if you use lexan an get fiber glass hatch and hood,strip all the b.s out of it and re wire her,gut the doors,get tube k member,arms and race breaks..with a iron block,th350 an 9" with out cage you could be around 2550 with out you id say

2975 lbs with me in it. Just the basic weight reduction and not butchered up.

 

Thanks, I just bought a roller and going to put my all aluminun 632 in it and try some drag radial races just trying get an idea.

 

3350, full interior a/c ws6 wheels, 12 bolt lqX block.

 

3100 lbs with factory glass, power windows, most interior plastic, Iron headed sbc, and a 200lb driver. Could easily be made to 2900 lbs with lexan front and back, aluminum heads, and some lighter rear brakes.

 

HEAVY...

 

they aint that bad...you will be shocked on how heavy some of the parts on them are..swapping to pin on hatch and lexan is worth 75#s or so..front lexan is 15# and windows is around 15#s savings also..bumpers and brackets are 40#s..air bags are like 30#s..the seats are around 100#s..swaping out the 4le60 to a glide is 60#s..sound deading shit is around 40#s..exh systen is like 75#s..<br /> <font size="1"><i>Posted via Mobile Device</i></font>

 

im down to 2900lbs and i have some ideas that may get me down below 2800.

 

either i had a thread or i posted in it..there was a guy that said they had one down to 2760 with gutted doors an lexan,stock k and brakes,fiber glass hood,alum head 350,700r4 and 12 bolt with a steel 10pt cage..the wiring is suppost to be heavy in these things..i got mine but am waiting for the cold weather to lighten up before i work on it..got to much shit in the garage to get it all the way in..lol doohhhhh
