hmmm...
I had my '70 weighed last summer.
Malibu 2dr, AC removed, aluminum headed 383 SB, TH400, 12 bolt, glass hood, aluminum radiator, PB disc, manual steering, full bench interior, Weld (aluminum)wheels... 3560 lbs with me (190#) and 1/2 tank.
I was surprised that was only 20 lbs more than my '80 Camaro weighed with the same motor!
I figure it will increase 225 lbs. with the 540 and 6 point moly rollbar.

my 71 with iron headed bbc weighed 3920lbs with a half tank and me in it, so about 3760 by itself. hoping my aluminum headed sbc and F/G hood along with manual steering will get me under 3650lbs race weight. it weighs 3760 with iron heads and me in it and stock hood and P/S. if i can get it 300lbs lighter than the 454 was i think i can run pretty darn close to what the 454 ran. graemlins/thumbsup.gif i could be pissing up a rope though. :rolleyes:
