Kirkham has personally put a couple 427 cars on the scale for us on here to see, they came in at 2117 lbs with aluminum 427 FE, and 2148 lbs with an iron block Windsor with 30 gal fuel, AWESOME, HUH?

Have you put your car on the scales? (and yes, that is awesome)

Yes, my car was put on a scale. I don't have the paperwork in front of me, but IIRC, my car was 49/51 or maybe it was 51/49, i can't recall, but i'm fairly certain the total weight was 2,128 lbs. with some amount of gas in it. |

Do you have an aluminum block as well?
I found the Kirkham thread where they posted weights of certain cars in various configurations, but it's tough to find any weights outside of when Kirkham weighed them so my question was just one of curiosity. |

Amazing! I expect an aluminum block 427w would come in at ~2000 lbs then  |

Maybe, but the installation of a SB in a 427 Kirkham is extremely rare. They definitely do it in Australia with LS engines due to their regulations, but in the US, you could probably count them on one hand, not including the thumb, forefinger and pinky. 
Anyone know the weight difference between an aluminum 427W and an all aluminum FE? It's gotta be less than 100lbs. |
