Just for fun I thought I would throw my C4 into the mix. No interior and plexi in place of the rear window. With 1/4 tank of gas and a 170 lb driver I'm at 3,025 lbs.
My 87 4+3 stripped but running no interior no cage yet, just drivers seat, but with working power glass windows and all glass was 2690
Now with the ls7 should be -120, tremec -40, race hood -60, custom harness -30, should be 2430 before adding brakes +30, rs porsche style interior +30, minimalist cage +40, for right at 2550 in streets ble form with all glass and custom interior.

I think you are overestimating on the ls7 unless your counting removal of the a/c system and air pump. I did a ls3 swap and i'm thinking the ls3 is about 60lbs lighter than the sbc, maybe even less.

Why not. My C4 with no driver and a few gallons was 2,843 lbs. I'd say more like 2850+ with the brake ducts, roll cage padding and a few brackets installed back on the car. Add my round self and a full fuel cell, I'd be right around 3,200 lbs I think.
Before aero, mine was 2709lbs w/1/8 tank. Cage was heavy with .120 wall tubing.
With no fuel or fire suspression, it would have been under 2700.
Pretty sure Nunnally's car was under 2600lbs fully stripped.

When will we see the C4 race car you bought on track ?
C5 FRC
Cage plus tubing for wing mount, fire system, cool shirt system
150 lb driver (not me sadly)
3/4 gas
#3076
It was just under 2800 lbs before cage, fire system and cool shirt.
