Will, thank you for the stock block weight.
So there is an approx. 46 lbs reduction for the aluminum block. 70 lbs for Al heads? 20-30 lbs for Al intake?
Maybe another 30lbs saved with Al water pump, Al timing cover, smaller Al air cleaner, switch to headers, Al valve covers, etc.
Maybe more?
We're getting to 200lbs pretty quickly.
Swap to a Lithium battery (minus 35lbs), one piece race seats (minus 40 lbs), and back to Magnesium wheels (minus 40lbs) and there is probably a lot more that can be done without really being noticeable (except the seats)?
Is there potentially 300lbs that can be taken out of an otherwise completely stock looking Pantera?

A bare stock block isn¹t heavy.
I weighed mine. I believe it was something like 162 lbs.
That¹s obviously more than an aluminum block, but I doubt you¹d notice it with the seat-of-the-pants dyno.

I believe that a bare 9.2 deck Fontana aluminum block weighs 116 pounds according to Jack Deryke. I didn't take the time to weigh mine before the engine was built, but a bare Fontana block is very light.
