Those numbers are a pleasant surprise.

Of course Rob refuses to believe them. Even though they are from his scales.

Funny Dave, my Mustang was within 50lbs. of that, when in a similar state. Car ended up at 3160lbs. At least that is what it was before I got crazy and started installing creature comforts like side glass, wipers etc. Figure you'll end close to the same, liquids are heavy.LOL

I would be STOKED if we came in somewhere around your 3160. Although this thing does take darn near 100 lbs of oil.

When I got my dry sump oil pump setup it included some oil lines for it made by Brown & Miller (BMRS). Reworking any of their fittings requires a proprietary crimping machine that only they and a few shops seem to have. We dealt with this when Watson Racing was assembling and preparing to dyno my motor last fall. A Sprint Car shop in San Jose (Keating) had the machine so they helped us there. Anyway, I had bought a few more of the BMRS hoses to add to my "pile" of crap in the hopes that some of it would be useful later. Some of it proved to be, but we needed modification again. So I contacted BMRS knowing they had opened a Socal location recently and they luckily were pretty close to Brett's shop. So he took all the measurements and we used some of the my good fittings/lines to rework into the new lines. Not the cheapest route, but they pressure test everything for free so this should be a good system and hopefully all leak free.















Brett should be finishing up the plumbing soon and on to the next task. Getting there...
