yamahasrx700 14 Report post Posted May 14, 2013 (edited) My 69 Coupe with a 460/C6 trans weighed in at 3360lbs at a certified scale, My car has an iron block and heads, aluminum intake, full interior, 9†Posi, Torque thrust wheels and Mickey Thompson Indy profiles, non power disc brake conversion, custom frame connectors, traction bars, full tank of gas and a few tools and lawn chairs in the trunk. Next mod is a 540 stroker and aluminum heads. That should take another 60lbs off the car…Nice Edited May 14, 2013 by yamahasrx700 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wycked69 20 Report post Posted May 15, 2013 Did you do this conversion yourself or was the 460 already in the car when you purchased it ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wycked69 20 Report post Posted May 17, 2013 My Brother is a BB fan so I built a '70 429 for his 69 FB that we are installing. Out of curiosity, what motor mount arrangement did you use ?, Crites ?, MPG, ? Did you also use their (Crites or MPG) custom headers (I've read several places they tend to leak at the collector) or did you by chance go the route of FPA or Stans?. My brother is having a set of headers made by Stan's for his 429. We also installed power brakes using a rebuilt booster from an 86 Aerostar and custom made and adapter block to position the booster for clearance and to mount it to the existing holes at the firewall Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yamahasrx700 14 Report post Posted May 18, 2013 I used the crites kit. No leaks. The kit is a great deal for under $600 bucks. I have non power disc.

yamahasrx700 14 Report post Posted May 18, 2013 I believe I added 350 lbs over the small block. I heard the 460/ C6 combo weighs in at 650 lbs. not sure exactly. Wow. I was expecting it to weigh more. How much would you guess the engine weighs? Nice car too! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
