Hi Nova dudes.
I am racing my 73 and I need to know the weight with driver (me). It is going to be totally gutted of everything i'm not using, door panels, innerfenders, etc...I am installing a lift off fiberglass hood and decklid, 8-point roll cage, one racing seat, aluminum dash, no other seats, or other b/s.:D I personally weight 160. I am going with a 350 SBC, TH400, 12-bolt rear. Skinny pizza cutters up front. What is a good estimate of weight.

Thanks,
wes

I would guess 3300-3400ish...plue or minus a bit...IMO the cage will put back most of the weight you removed...again JMO here...:)
That about what I would guess also. To be sure when your ready go down to the weight scale at your local landscape yard. That what I did with my 64.
I did the same...local grain elevator weigh scale.

All cast iron SBC with Muncie...3225 pounds-no fuel/no people.
