Weighed my new car today and aligned the front end with the help of a friend. 185" car, 370" blown aluminum SBC, and a glide'. I had guessed it would weigh "about 1300". Well how about exactly 1300 without wheelie bar (or front spoiler, which I haven't fabricated yet). I only have one 10lb fire bottle but the MSD-10 box and coil are heavy. (couldn't believe how much heavier than a -7 box and coil)

1300 lbs is nice and light. Our 225" wb Heritage JF car with an all iron 400 ci SBC weighs 1445 WITH our driver. No blower. We run 7.0's with a best of 190 mph on pure alky.
So you are happy with your MSD distributer ? All the Heritage JF teams find they need MSD mag's either 12amp or like us 20 amp, with no problems. We moved up to the 20 amp when we started running more compression and more fuel to keep it from missing. We run the 20 amp in my SBC and the Gene Adams built Hemi. How big a battery do you need running the dist ? No battery needed with MSD or Mallory mags. Only battery needed in JF is a one pound battery to run the transbrake and RacePak.
Good luck with your new chassis.
