Were factory -6 200#'s more or conversion cars post 72 cars 200#'s more?

The factory sixes didn't come with side crash bars in the doors so that is about 100#'s off per car. I think the doors weigh 50#'s more each with the side crash protection.

Is that correct?

Just wondering? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)

They weigh more because of the boat-anchors on the front and rear, extra electrical wiring, and the impact-frames inside the doors. So, yes (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

Joe,

thanks for the list awesome!

------------------------------------

Olav,

no way the doors are 50lbs difference early versus late.
the bar inside of them is a formed sheet of steel that weighs about 9lbs.
I'm guessing early versus late doors are probably 30lbs for the pair difference.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/agree.gif) I'''m with Brant. The F/G bumpers make more differance than the doors. Howards car and Marks cars both have F/G bumpers and Marks car still is 4 lug.
All of the guy's striped thier cars (spare tire jack and whatever). Beauty has a 45# jack and her spare tire in her trunk. I'll post Carerror's numbers after she has been striped.

Me too. My car has steel in the doors, but f/g hood and bumpers. I didn't weigh the bumpers, but they can't be more than 10# each. MFG claims weight on hood w/o paint is 8#.

Tank was full, so subtract another 65# or so to get to 'track' config and car comes in under 1900# with full street equip. Now if I could just drop 50# and find another 20hp (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

There's a thread where the early and late doors were weighed and the difference compared.

It's there, whatever the answer.

I'll do a search unless someone beats me to it.

Door weight thread


Ok, it's 60lbs difference early vs late doors for the pair.

Early doors: 25lbs. each

Late doors: 60lbs. each



That's still a lot of weight!
