'Match Race 1969' 440 'Cuda vs 440 'Six-Barrel' Road Runner
Great info there!
So if the fiberglass hood saved 66lbs over the standard 440, the lighter intake manifold saved 21lbs (87lbs total lighter over the 440 4bbl car!!) but it still weighs 98lbs more than a 383 car???
Where is that weight coming from?
