Woody's build thread

Here's most of everything I took out. The insulation inside the engine bay came out in chunks and didn't make it into the picture. I weighed everything that I took out. The engine bay insulation and everything you see in the picture roughly weighs 75lbs. I couldn't weigh the insulation I took off the back of the interior carpets because of how I removed it. So what I did was I took my modified pieces and compared them to interior carpet that still had the foam attached. I removed 16.5lbs of foam for a grand total of 91.5 lbs lost.

I had hoped for more of a weight lost because I'm probably going to add most of that back. Those suspension pieces were probably twice as heavy as the factory ones and I still have an accusump to put on. The side airbags and stereo better not piss me off or they might get the guillotine too.

That's a decent amount of weight. That's like adding about 8 hp plus the benefits to braking and handling.

I assume you aren't putting the A/C system into the car when you install the motor so factor in the weight from that too. How about the top? A tounneau cover in it's place for when she's parked could work.
