My Mirada was pretty much gutted. single race seat, full cage, still had the dash, factory door panels, glass, pwr windows, aluminum head RB, 727, D-60 rear and tipped the scales at 3380 with me in it



I'm guessing mine is a bit more portly than that! Lol.




A "full cage" and Dana 60 add a lot of weight over a stock 7&1/4. Alum head RB vs ironhead smallblock is probably/nearly neglible. Power windows didn't get lighter until most OEM's got away from the scissor style mechanism and went "tape/gear drive" in the mid80's. If the driver is in the 180+ range you're looking at 3200 for the vehicle. I'll assume gutted means no a/c & heater components, no wiper system, no p/s, no p/b and ?????
