It feels like one of those day time shows my mom likes to watch in this thread...
FWIW when I had the iron headed 455 in my 79 it was at 3650lb wet. Went to a 400 stroked to 467 with E heads and added a glass hood to clear the Victor/1050 and it dropped to 3100lbs wet. an IAII iron block is slightly heavier than a stock block, but you can make up that difference easily in power, reliability, and dropping some weight off the car.
Think about a glass nose over the factory bumper, those things are heavy on the 70-73.
