Default Re: 8.50 index build

With the wiring pretty much done, it was time to install the transmission and converter. I had concerns over the converter pilot length given this car has an additional 1/8" block plate along with the 1/4" midplate. And sure enough, the pilot is too short as are the block bellhousing dowels. So while the trans was still in the car I wanted to weigh the car before removing it to resolve the two trans issues.









Weight as it sat on the scales, no driver.



I also weighed and accounted for all the parts not bolted to the car yet.



and a quick weigh with driver...



So in the end the car should be right at 2640 lbs with driver, race ready.
