I'm not sure what the cast iron intake weighs but aluminum is roughly 1/3 that amount.

I had a cast iron 6pk on my 69 RR , when I removed the intake the front end lifted up about a 1/2" .

I'm putting an aluminum 6 Pack intake on my car and was wondering what the weight difference is between that and the cast iron version.
some of us have been wondering that for quite a while; now you can weigh both and let us know!

I don't have a cast iron one otherwise I would.

Darn. Well, weigh yours and post it and maybe someone will weigh their cast iron job. I should have, but it's bolted to the engine now.

Cast iron = 38.6 lb 6Pk Alum. = 22.2 Lb
However, if you are looking at overall weight savings, the three Holleys weigh considerbly more than an AFB/AVS, closing the weight difference gap.

I think he wants to know the weight difference between a cast iron 6 pack intake and an aluminum 6 pack intake. Both would have the 3 2bbl Holley carbs...

Weighed on my house scale as pictured, it weighs 42 lbs. If aluminum is .39 the weight of cast iron as stated above, then a similar equipped cast iron intake should weigh: 42 lbs ----- = 107 lbs. .39 Right?

No.
Mine weighs about 39.5 lbs intake and carbs and fuel line (w/o kick-down and throttle bracket)
So, using your 42 lbs:
22/.39 = 56 for cast iron intake.
Carbs, brackets and fuel line weight about 20 lbs.
about 75ish pounds total

Then what's your point? I could also guess at the weight of a cast iron intake but I want the actual weight. If anyone has a cast iron intake with mounted carbs that can be weighed then that would be close. Doesn't anyone have a cast iron intake that can be weighed?

Didn't you see his post above giving the weight of the alum 6 pk manifold and a cast iron 4bbl ?
The cast iron setup with carbs does not weigh 107 is what he is saying.
I'm going to ask a real STUPID question ... why does it matter ? If the iron weighs only 10 lbs more are you going to trade the alum. one for an iron one ? The iron one is not correct for 69 ... if that matters ....
