True that, i was just wondering.

I don't have the exact weight but it can be anywhere from 20 to 30lb minimum. My overall goal is to have close to 300whp in less then a ton car

Will take some updates on the engine parts on Sunday.

Few things which were done, was fixing the dashboard and installing Autometer gauges. I used the stock bezels and moulded them in the dashboard. Kept them a bit tilted giving a more modern look. Dash had two big cracks was almost in two pieces, fixed with epoxy and then sanded and painted matte black.

Just have one pic when work was done

There are three more guages, A/F ratio, Voltmeter and Fuel guages which will go in place of radio headunit.

Got the exhaust muffler as well, 2.5" pipe will get a custom one to go with it.
