Some weight loss Info

[BullittStangV8]

guys, since im stripping down my 65 to get it ready to go to the chasis shop for a cage, I have allot of interior and other parts laying around. Since I'm aiming to keep the weight down, I'm taking out the heater and other parts. So heres a list of some parts which many of us may part with (or exchange) in order to handle a little better or turn the 1/4 a little quicker:

1. heater (no fluid w. hoses) 16 lbs.
2. front seat (1) 33-35 lbs without brackets.
3. rear seat (top) 16 lbs (bottom) 22 lbs
4. radiator (stock 289 2 row) 11 lbs.
5. front sway bar 5lbs (w. brackets)
6. carpet (front) 6 lbs.
6. carpet (back) 5 lbs.

hope this helps some people out. :SNSign:

 

[302 coupe]

my 66 coupe weighs 2790 with 6 gallons fuel, no driver.

Weight affecting items:
302/C4
no A/C or P/S
aluminum radiator
aluminum heads and intake
fiberglass hood
removed sway bar
no heater/box
full interior otherwise
granada front discs (no power assist)
heavy arse Versailles 9"
subframe connectors
cal-tracs

I could ditch the bumpers, swap the steel front valance for 'glass, and go to a lighter-weight set of discs in the rear, take out the carpet and underlayment, lose the pass-side seat, should be worth 150 lbs easy. On top of that, I could stand to lose about 30 lbs...2600 lb mustang sounds pretty easy.
