Impressed with those numbers. Any other things done/modified lighter than stock?? Like: alum/brass radiator, headers, aftermarket front seats, manual brakes, front mounted battery etc.
My 68 Barracuda was 3412. But with all iron 360/727 including 69-down cast iron water pump, factory brass radiator, 340 hipo ex manifolds, heavy A-body console, 11.75 disks.
Mine did have Toyota front seats, aluminum master cly.
Aluminum radiator
Full length headers with a pretty heavy 3" exhaust
Trunk mounted battery
Electric fan
Manual brakes w/alum master but also 11-3/4" fronts...which are pretty heavy.
8-3/4" rear
Full interior
17" and 18" wheels, rears are 295/45/18. I don't have the weight off hand, but the wheels are just plain American Racing, nothing light or intended for racing.
I wouldn't say it is/was much lighter than the average ride.
40 lbs battery in rear will shift rear weight bias 1.8% to rear. Most 700CCA batteries are 45 lbs.
Headers weigh significantly less than stock cast iron. Especially if they are not Dougs or TTI's.
