Need to get some more weight out Pete, few hours with the holesaw should help address that problem :D

I wasn't joking about the weight, mine was around 3,300lb's when I started out. With full cage, me sitting in it, its around 2,200lb's. OK,OK, I put some weight on so closer to 2,250lbs :D

That was with the B Block & B1's, will scale it in next few weeks to see where its at with the Hemi, Blower, road trim. I'm guessing the KB Block & Blower will be fairly similar in weight to the old engine.

If its gained to much, will have to start looking where I can save some weight. I even holesawed the headlight buckets ? as was concerned about the weight going back up with the raod trim. Plastic bag, instead of washer bottle, might drill the nuts & bolts next, swap for aluminium bolts where I can. Keep me busy for a few weeks :D
