Greenlee I have been using them for years. If you use the large one get the hydraulic ram. Trust me on that.

how "large" is large when the hydraulic ram is needed ? i know of some that are available, but i think the biggest is 1 1/2". [?] I know that they make 2" punches maybe larger. I'm trying to remember the ram kit that we had at my last TV station and what was the largest size in that. When you make more than one or two holes or once you go larger than 1" you will wish that you have the ram. I only have have up to 1 1/4" and only use a wrench. If you are making a row of holes that is were the ram comes in. I uses these all the time for chassis mounting male and female XLR connectors and DB 9 connectors in equipment. That is how I started to use Greenlee punches 30 years ago building racks in studios. SO I started to us them to make firewall holes that look factory and that holds a grommet tight. That said I have been giving my drill press and workout at slow speed and cutting fluid with my hole saws on the thicker metal. I took out 1 LBS off the ebrake assy with the drill press.

Here's a proud sneak peak flick of my boys new lightweight project to hit the mainstream this Summer. Come to find out through Special K that these 62's are super light compared to the 63-65's to begin with. Do your homework folks.

Only 100 lbs I'm thinkin closer to 125 lbs. Setting the engine back a few inches is like putting a few hundy in the trunk The oil pan is a donation from an out east freind ,the aluminum strut rods were close to a donation also. Greg asked what the double oil filter with the lines weigh,they will not be going back on and neither will the accumulator.One of you guys need to bring a scale SOON.I'd like to weigh the iron & aluminum heads and some of the now debris that's on the floor! I have to make Jenny PROUD!

Can the new combo run without the double filter and accumulator? if so, that's quite a few pounds right there along with the extra quart or so of petro. The oil pan alone is an extra quart or two it seems. My Ohio USA scale only reads up to 60 Lbs and I'm afraid that iron head is at least 70-80 Lbs with all the bells and whistles.
The only thing that may be misleading in your case is that a few good things were done at the same time, so when the good results roll in (and I know they will) we really won't know which trick or combo of made it happen. My opinion: The engine set back is a big plus even if you would not had shaved weight at all and with the old combo. The new aluminum heads on the flow/velocity side will be another benefactor aside from their lesser weight. Al, I believe that you will be scootin' once everything is settled and nestled in. There's another cat on here that has benefited impressively from just weight loss and nothing else. I'll respectfully let him zone in here with his results when ever he's ready.

When he comes out from the haze I hope he starts his own thread on that build. I ordered another piece of 1 1/8 tube last tuesday that was supposed to be in yesterday Now they say tuesday.After the header tubes are rearranged the block can come back out and let the progress BEGIN! This heap will finally go the way it should

FMJ,say hello to my new filtration system.It was on the shelf with the aluminum heads for 25 years.The system 1 flows 30 GPM and will be mounted by the oil pump to minimize the length of the oil lines.

Is that a serviceable/replacement filter element unit? It looks like a vintage funny car part or something. Never seen that before. At least the housing is aluminum to keep its weight down.
Kinda goes with the 'top fuel' heads...

My guess for the double oil filters with housing and accusump with all the steel braided lines when they are full of 20-50 is 25 lbs. Oil pan maybe 5 lbs YOU asked,,,,,,,a while back
