I'm sitting here reading all these letters about various engines and weights but are you guys including "Scattershield's and block savers"? You DO run scattershield bellhousings right? Blocksaver?

Reason I say this is my Johnex is a pretty simple kit and I'm using a V6 motor with aluminum heads that are so light you can pick them up with two fingers, Aluminum intake and my car weighs right around 2350 with a little over half a tank of gas, two fire extingushers and no spare or driver... I figured the motor without the McCloud bell housing and block saver weighs right around 375 lbs with alternator, dry sump oil pump, mini starter on it.

It would be interesting to weigh a lot of our cars on the same scale. Maybe next years Run & Gun would be the place. I'm sure Gateway Int. has scales.

Regards,
