BB K-member Weight OEM vs DC

To me there's alot of thick steel hanging on an OEM K-frame compared to the DC setup. But spool mounts are heavy too..

As @Oldmanmopar said, it all adds up.

As a '69 Cuda clone I've already got a Dart Lite aluminum hood for it, going to have a light rotating assembly, 904 swap, etc..

If I had the funds I'd have someone fabric a stock looking K-frame out of aluminum lol.
