I have some tricks left But at this point in the game it's getter harder to come up with weight saving solutions and idea's

 

[Mike K]

Man oh man.. I am guessing removing the glass windows? CF body panels? lol I don't know what else you could do.

Can't wait to see this fricken thing running at Bradenton!

Like removing the car completely? that would be great weight saving!

 

[LegendLives]

Funny car style roof flap? lol You will have to air it out after your burn out to see any ways.

 

[RetroGT2006]

Matt would have a dragster and still find shit to pull/rip out of it!! lol

....taking the air out of the tires?

 

[GrnBullitt08]

Yeah, you've got that thing gutted pretty good. Are you ditching the full length exhaust and going to dumps?

 

[Scott]

Matt, you are making great progress. Clearly a lot of hard work! The freshly painted floor looks great and I really like your tin foil masking trick.

Dry carbon (hood, doors, trunk, fenders ) will reduce some serious weight, but probably cost more than the new motor. I am going with Wet Carbon fiber of all of the above in Aug which will still save about 150lbs or more.

i believe seibon makes all the fenders doors trunks and hoods for the s197

Matt, have you cutout the floor of the trunk space with the spare tire and all of that shit and made just one flat peice? Seems like it would reduce a few pounds.

 

[US-1]

You need a crud thug, trust me ive been in your shoes.

makes it alot faster

Also a great tool for launching rubber plugs that you forgot to remove out of the floorboard and ricocheting them around the interior. Ask me how I know.

Do you mean using a Coyote shortblock with 3v heads? If so, the answer is no. The Coyote block is not compatible with any heads besides the 5.0 heads.

Yes I do and I was afraid of that. Dang it. Well, as long as I can have a full list of parts and the procedure needed to "make it all work" fine. W/e it takes.
