I'm new to the pinto world, I've been into fox bodied mustangs forever but just recently decided to tackle a v-8 into a pinto.My question is this, How much can I expect this thing to weigh with its done roughly. Its a 72 runabout and we are dropping in a carbed 302 with the basics. no a/c or p/s. any help apprecitiated.
The original engine and transmission weigh in the 350 - 380 lb range. Subtract that from your vehicle's weight on the data sticker and add in whatever a 302 and according transmission weigh.
*Roughly* I'd guesstimate that you're adding 150 - 200 lbs to the overall weight of the vehicle, although it may be a bit more.
Tom weighed his '71 with the 351w and it was 2750 pounds with him in it and his large bulky C6
