well, if im not mistaken, the early generation 302s were carb.
but thats not what im getting at.
basically a fuel injected weight is fine, but i roughly need to know what pulling all the FI stuff off and going carb drops as far as weight goes.

ohhh got ya.... I have no idea... I would of looked it up on the internet but I doubt that is something you would find on there... Hmmmm dont know what to tell ya..
but if you trying to reduce weight for handling I heard that it was more important where it sits rather than try to get all the weight. Like if you moved it like 2 inches to the middle and like 2 inches lower. It would help A LOT more than just taking 100 lbs off.
that is what I heard

The FI stuff weighhed about 40 lbs since the upper on the 5.0's were so damn heavy.

Damn that means my motor/ trans weighs about 650lbs. if i did not need a motor i could be below 3000#s
Where the hell did i put that mountain of gold so i can build an all aluminum motor.
