Default Penny hits the scale in preparation for her diet..

Well it is generally impolite to discuss a lady's weight but then again Penny is not exactly a "lady".. lol

A little heavier than I expected but the Dana 60 and big block are not lite items.

Drum roll?

Total Weight (without driver and a few gals of gas) = 3420 lbs

Front axle weight = 1890 lbs

Rear axle weight = 1540 lbs

So, the magic question will how much weight off the front will an LS2 be?? If I can get 300lbs off the front then that would be great since I am sure my back weight will go up some with the new fuel cell and other suspension tweeks.

I know there are many other factors but like corner weights but this should give a decent indication of saved weight.

And here is a pic of Penny I took today.. it is now my wallpaper
