By using the edelbrock aluminum intake heads and waterpump I knocked 110 pounds off my 428's original weight.

Not only should one think about minimizing weight but balance...one should be looking for 50/50 distribution.

Good wheels takes weight off the car...the capacity of the fuel cell is a weight consideration. That battery as stated previously.....using aluminum instead of SS whereever you can.

The size OD and wall thickness of the rollbar..

Interior appointments can save or add weight..plush or spartan.

It all adds up
