Dwight,
Too much! Actually, I don't know how much it cost as it is a customer's engine we are working on.
ERA Chas,
I haven't heard of the Innovators West balancer. I will need to try one on my car sometime. I am always in to reduce the rotating mass.
strictlypersonl,
Did you weigh your top-loader with the shifter? Yoke? Maybe something else. We have now weighed 2 transmissions at just under 95 pounds.
trularin,
I will give up the 15 pound weight penalty and go with 5 gears for my next project. As I said, this is another customer's car we are setting up for him and he already had an iron top-loader for his ride.
