Easy stuff is a fiberglass bumper and aluminun radiator and waterpump. 9 inch drum spindles with Aeroapsce brakes. Manual steering. You can lighten up a stock K member some with a holesaw and patience. Eventually you will be chasing ounces not pounds if you get serious.

The car (Dad's)is a 71 Challenger with a 496, Eddy heads, Alum water pump, Alum sheetmetal valvecovers ,Six pack on Alum manifold, all stock suspension other than SS leafs and Calvert shocks.
Mike, are those brakes streetable or race only? Car still has power steering and power brakes. I bet if it had a fiberglass hood and bumper,aluminum bumper brackets,Manual brakes and steering, then relocate the battery to the back the weight transfer would be WAY better. How much does a Lift off hood weigh compared to an RT hood?

My Mag Force F/E and Wilwood disks knocked 180# off the front end. The ally block also helped . Chryco

Kinda off topic but do the rear Aerospace disc brake kits require the "green" or non-adjustable bearings or can you use them with the factory adjustable timkins?

I am with lil Demon. I shaved 66 lbs off the nose with the Aerospace front brakes. And you gain safety.
