What does a 68 weigh with a 327/350? I am looking for the whole vehicle weight.

Alan,

I think the block alone is 195 lbs, the complete engine about 500 lbs intake to pan.

By the way how are you? And how is the project?

Joe,

I ws looking for the weight of the whole car because I need the info to inquire about a cam at Crane.

HOW THE HECK ARE YOU!

Is that engine in yet? I wish I was at that stage.
Engine wise I have decided to go stock 327. Will probably switch out my tranny to a Richmond so I get 10:1 to the rear wheels. Working out the details of the rebuild, have been reading some good books. I will send you a summary of what I have learned and decisions made so you can cross check. But for now I am at work and have to well, work!

the 327 is lots of fun and loves the RPM's. I run the brodix IK180 heads with hooker ceramic coated sidepipes, and it just keeps asking for more. Ill swap out the cam next, but still debating on specs, what are you looking at for yours
