This thread is for posting the weight of various stock or aftermarket parts and components of your G body for the knowledge of all. It need not be a stock part, but be sure to put down the model of car, component, year, and engine (where applicable). For example, don't just say Iron SBC head, say Iron World Products head for SBC, etc. Anyhow, I will get the ball rolling with a few components I have weighed. I will be adding more, such as the Aluminum hood in the future. Please though, someone post the weight of the steel hood, bumpers, etc. ( Please make this a Sticky!!!)
Dash for Cutlass with no switches, gauges, radio or wiring: 23.6 lbs
R-4 A/C compressor with clutch: 17lbs
Weld Draglite wheel, 15x8.5: 14.8 lbs
Global West Upper front Control Arm: Just under 10 lbs ea.
Cutlass Supreme Brougham 60/40 split front seat, driver's side with power: 55.8lbs
1992-95 Honda Civic 2 door driver's seat with tracks: 33.2 lbs
Steel 85 Cutlass 2 door front fender stripped to bare steel: 11.6lbs
Plastic/aluminum Modine replacement radiator for 3rd gen V8 F car: 9.4 lbs
Power steering gear box, 1984 Monte SS quick ratio: 28.4lbs
Door Glass, 86 Monte Carlo: 15.8 lbs
T-5 manual transmission from V6 4th gen F body: 82lbs
Aluminum hood, with hinges and no springs: 25.4lbs
Fender with 2 paint jobs, Bondo, and primer surfacer: 12.4 lbs
Copper-Brass radiator from a 1972 AMC Hornet: 18lbs
(Please someone post a G body Copper-Brass 3 core)
Another area of weight savings most of us do not think about is the battery. I weighed a 35 series battery and got 38.8 lbs. I wonder what the small battery used in a Civic would weigh?
Complete cruise control system from 86 Monte Carlo: too light for my bathroom scale to measure.
Now, get out your bathroom scale and start weighing stuff!
