How much engine do I need?

[Paul G]

I had the car on a scale today. Funny thing, there is a recycle/scrap yard a couple miles from me. Didnt even know it was there. I went there today bringing in some batteries for recycling, and sitting right there is a truck scale. I asked how much to weigh my car? He said just bring it in the boss wont care. So I weighed the car after work today.

The car weighed in at #3920 with the trunk full of "stuff" and 3/4 tank of fuel. I am another #200. So figure on track day, empty trunk, probably will weigh about#4000 with me in it.

Snarky comments aside - it is a nice looking car and will be a lot of fun when you next project is done.

Now you need less motor than you thought.  Very nice looking car.

Thanks Guys.

Needing less motor would allow you to run a Nice small block with less weight.  Just sayin, less money, less weight, and just as much fun.

Thats very true, but I will say I had a well done smallblock once in a Charger years ago and I missed the low end torque of the bigblock.  I suppose it depends how and where you drive it most.
