The more the world changes, the more it stays the same. Note the two scoops orifice. Demon not yet meeting the new year resolution of weight loss as much as that A-864, but comfy, safer and faster.
Imagine a current Demon at A-864 weight distributed in the right corners. 8 Ball 8's anybody?

if people scales weigh people correctly, what happens if said "people" hold part and get on scale, then set part down and get back on scale, subtracting the difference ? would that get a closer part weight ? Its still not a perfect solution. I've tried several things, and this is with perfectly calibrated competition weights. Its hardly foolproof. Actual parts scales, or dairy scales, scales made for stuff and around the range ov weight you're using... thats the way to go.

That there is a neat discovery. Probably because of less rubber mass/thickness and less metal impregnated in the rubber mold. Imagine if all the repro parts are that much lighter relative to their original counterparts, you can shave off a whole lot of pounds. I started on an aluminum version of the floor swivel mechanism for the go-pedal, but time and other priority's get in the way. It might not last too long, especially under hard pedal mashing in running, but it would serve as a neat conversation piece.

......how does a can of beans fit into all this??????? So as you can see here, after gently removing the unit from its nest under the dash, there was a gaping black hole left on both sides of the firewall. I figured Rick would find some way/thing to patch that hole up and give it a factory delete p[late look.

For those not willing to go Deep-SEE diving into the Mariana trench of this thread, here again is a refreshed image of the all aluminum exhaust system with aluminum Ultra-flo type mufflers and all. These start at the collectors tails and dump out just before the rear differential. Tail downturns are not included in this image. 20 Lbs and some pennies.

Though not a lightweight piece by any stretch but tricked as the usual for The Palm readers 'Wanna Bee" Super Bee project. This here pre carb filter/bypass canister on the 68' cars came with a 5/16 fuel feed line, but a new improved and larger 3/8 line complete with bulge ends will be fabricated to look stock.

My Spintechs alone are probably close to 20lbs. Unfortunately, exhaust is one place i will never skimp on quality. Thin/light exhausts are loud... and not in a good way. Another unfortunate truth, is that the heavier the exhaust, the better it sounds. My Challenger's exhaust aint gonna be much bigger than that (T/A style, one piece), but it'll probably weigh twice as much. One small mercy is that that weight is as low, and central as weight can get in a car.
