I am trying to guesstimate my vehicle weight for my gtech. I know that it doesn't have to be exact, but I'd like to get pretty close before I can actually get it on a a scale.

Things that reduce weight:
No spare or spare carrier
No A/C
Aluminum heads and intake
Aluminum radiator
No P/S or P/B
Fiberglass rear spring

Things that add weight:
Lakewood bellhousing
17" Steel wheels

Anybody want to take a stab?

3300 lbs... Sounds like it would be pretty close to my car. I weigh in right around 3306.

im gonna have to agree with mike here...somewhere around 3300-3400, but keep in mind a full tank of gas will add soem serious weight......dont know if itll affect the g-tech tho

mike! whats ur new AIM name??

Chris:
My guess would be about 3200lbs. My car weighs in at 3350, I weighed it at a weighing station nearby. The only weight reductions that I did were:

- Removed Spare Tire & Carrier
- Removed Old Exhaust ; Now Running Side Pipes
- Removed All AC Equipment
- Edelbrock Aluminum Intake

So my guess is 3200lbs.

FYI: I believe I remember hearing that a gallon of gas weighs 9lbs.

Hey Chris

Mine is also a 69 with stock motor (currently) , has spare tire, no power anything all stock stuff, alum wheels and weighs 3185. Yours should be less than mine by 30-50 lbs so I would guess 3150. Oh also my weight was with 1/4 tank. Gtech only needs weight for HP measurements incase you care. :flag

I don't know where wylie tx is but i'm sure you could find a "Co-op" station or any similar farm truck weighing facility and get an accurate reading for some red man tobacco change. :cheers:

MIKER

Chris A,
Mike 69 has probably guessed closest being that his setup is similar but I will take a stab at 3250 just for grins. :D

2650???

Weight of the car = 3217 lbs.
Don’t forget to add your weight to that total. :yesnod:

Thanks for all of the replies. I think I'll use 3200 (plus my weight). I realize that the weight is only for the HP calculations, but I was just curious.
