yeah, I really wanted a stealthy stock one and because of the milling, etc. this one had to be used, so I stressed to Chuck and Pete at Best Machine to mill out the Indy name at the very least.
maybe I'll invent an aluminum stock looking version for the diversion.

The intake I worked off the name and part numbers myself with a little dye grinder, a nail through a 2X4, some Hemi orange paint and fast reflexes. Its interior is smoothed out where the runners meet the heads. Stock port openings believe it or not.

Burt Munroe built his Indian with second hand files, hacksaws, a home made furnace & an old lathe that most machinists would run a mile from, no CNC machines in those days

and it failed tech and safety 12 different ways.

I just got off the bathroom scale and weigh in at 175 Lbs.
My car has yet to find an accurate scale at the track or a good truck stop. There's one here in Queens that I'll have to visit this coming Spring. But keep 'em coming.
Whats up Tom.

What's up is I can bring my scales anywhere... anytime Lee

You mean it has not been properly scaled? What is this truck stop you speak of?

Truck scales are a last resort in my opinion. Take this gentleman up on using his scales and find out EXACTLY what it weighs w/you on board as well as cross and fore and aft numbers.

No, I guess not. Last time was over at Maple groves Mopar Action event.
Englishtown's scale is a joke from what I've experienced there. I'd be better off with four Bathroom scales. LOL.
When it gets warmer, you are invited to the Area 51 garage with those scales. The truck weight stop is located just off the side of the Whitestone Expressway on the Linden place exit in Flushing. A&R Lobosco is the name. They seem to be legit and precise.

Okay Tom, you've made your guess, ThumperDart, you've made yours, lets see who else may come either close or on the nail on the weight of my car with a full tank of gas and WITHOUT me in it. The winner gets a cool surprise in the mail.
This is fun.

I think you want it under 3000 lbs & 15 lbs under sounds safe.

6.1-6.2 depending on temperature and grade. I guess I can't get in the weight question with my inside trader info.

Okay, so rounding it off to the nearest 6 Lbs at 15 gallons we have an additional 90 Lbs that was on the rear of the car the day I weighed it.

okay, as soon as I get the little box of candy from Detroit, you'll get a little peek into this widening madness.
Some things are just difficult to make even with a CNC machine, so patience will be a virtue.
What I really want to achieve but would have to save quite a few pennies would be to replace a couple of more items left on the car with Factory lightweight stuff. Thinking with a good guesstimate at hand, this could shave off the last bulk on the car in the neighborhood of 50-75 Lbs.

Keefe,
No that Distributor hold down came like that to me from Frye racing. I would have left it solid as factory to be really stealth.
It is Aluminum you know, not steel.
The bolt that clamps it down is Ti.
