Complete 400 engine, iron heads and water pump, but without headers or flywheel attached.

Not that you could run without it, but now you know.

Anyone know what is the wt difference between aluminum heads vs Iron?
Aluminum water pump vs iron?
Aluminum bellhousing vs Scattershield?

I can wiegh fully loaded #16 D-ports(just removed a pair) vs ported E-heads with 2.19/1.66 vlvs(triple vlv springs) without rkr arms for comparison.
And water pumps. Have couple each.
And stock bell housing.

It seems high to me but I have it in print here for a 400 car at 3855 for curb weight.

In case anyones been wondering, my 68 has 115 lb's removed so far.
Probly more then that cause i forget to wiegh some of the small stuff before cleaning up.
And theres more to reamove, but i'm really holding myself back.

Just weighed my aluminum radiator with dual electric fans

34lbs

keep in mind it had more volume than a 4 row so it will weigh more when filled. No weight savings there from a clutch fan and brass radiator.

[Donovan]

Bare front bumper - 16lbs
The top bumper support - 11lbs

[Region Warrior]

Both my frt bars wiegh 17. But i'm use'n and old cheap bathroom scale.
Right now the bar sppt(trimmed 4lbs) w/frm brkts is 21.
Still decide'n if i should trim the frame brkts themselves.

Have not weighed birds but weighed some A-bodies on my forklift scale at work (certified to 2lbs accuracy). The weights below are for original cars, no driver and no gas.

Some are surprising:
69 GTO vert: 4spd AC and heavy optioned (windows, 8 track etc) 3,890
69 LeMans vert: 3502bbl, T400 AC, also fully optioned with windows etc 3,885
69 GTO HT: 4spd AC and again fully optioned 3,855

Porky cars!
Wonder what a stock Bird 400 weighs?

My experience is that a muncie installed is almost 50 pounds lighter than a T400 and a 3spd floorshift (DB13) is about half way between the two (iron case)
