How about a manual rack&pinion. Lighter core support. Lighter engine accessories...my alt bracket and waterpump weigh a ton. They also make lightweight spindles for those cars I believe.

All I can tell you is that building a stock elim. car is a game of illusion, so use your imagination.

Well said!.....Rich, it's amazing how much weight you can save with a 24 grit disc sander applied to the right places. ...cheap but takes time ......Tom
