School me on Stock Eliminator?

I was a little lost there for a sec - I was thinking the shipping weight with the Slant 6 was 2,707 but it's with the V8. This car really does weigh around 2,600 lbs. A roll bar and larger rear wouldn't add that much weight, at least not as much as if you had to add the V8 to that weight as well. Doh!

Still needs at least 300hp at the wheels though. As with any car, it will be difficult to get to the minimum weight. This particular car is bare bones as it gets right now.

Not trying to give away secrets here, but I've read that guys do things like use smaller series rear end yokes to save weight and keep their front bearings loose to reduce drag. Cool stuff! I'm sure there's lots of creative ways to accomplish this goal, you just have to look at things in a different light. That's what separates the stocker guys from the others, it's almost zen-like in the approach.
