I've been thinking about the steering column but wasn't sure if a support at the knuckle might cause some binding... I'm gonna see once everything is in the car.
I weighed the parts and the difference so far is 138 lbs but I have to add a power steering pump so I'd say approx 120 lbs saving

enough to compensate for the heavy chunk of aluminum on the motor- :wink:
The motor is a 493 and last year ran 10.80 at 125MPH (at 4200ft) with 5 lbs boost.... And got 16+ MPG cruising to the mountains. 8)
LOL Olds!!! .... additional support....hehe, sometime no support is good too :shock:
