[V8Vairs] <VV> Weight of a V-8 Corvair

[morley_m at yahoo.com]

Just as a point of reference our rear engoned LS1 car weighed in @ 2675 with a full tank of gas in street trim. We have since replaced the rad with an aluminum griffin which dropped  20lb off the front.  Would like to see it around the 2600 even mark
