Fly Weights

They're all V/8s (almost), they're all just slightly heavier than a Happy Meal and they're all decent but not particularly easy, cheap or even realistic! Any more that you can think of?
72 Gremlin 304/180 O/SA at 2870#.
63 Falcon 260/158 P/S at 2695# (I'm thinking 4 speed because of block bp)
81 Mustang 255/150 Q/SA at 2720# (auto only)
65 Valiant 273/165 P/S or auto at 2810#
65 Valiant 273/210 J/S or auto at 2795# (Edelbrock intake!)
65 Chevy II 283/170 P/S or auto at 2890#
65 Chevy II 283/223 I/SA at 2845# (stick heavier)
Now some orphans
62 Buick Special 215/185 K/S at 2575# (4V and aluminium engine, might have to be stick)
63 Olds Jetfire 215/215 J/S at 2855# ( turbo and factory alcohol injection, Jericho, 2 step and pop pop, bang bang, hang on!)
62 Pontiac Tempest 195/166 P/S at2825# ( not a V/8 but 1/2 of a good one with 4V)

Any that I missed?
