You make me wanna weigh mine.

My top is heavy (I believe they are about 50#s or so heavier than the rag top??), but I don't have the rear deck lid cause the Z-top has that included.

I haven't done any weight reduction, but the good ole boy iron 4.3 engine weighs about 150#s less than the M96 engine.

I do know that all the "scaffolding" I had to make to get the 4.3 to bolt to the car weighs 45#s and I've added a few things since.


I'd like to see a dead stock weight on my car. That would be a win for me.

Dyno at the wheels I'd like to see 250 to 300 torques. That was my goal from the get go.



Don't let those dyno numbers get you down. HP sells cars TORQUE wins races. And you're right that is a strong steady low end powerband you've got.
