I am thinking more than I originally thought, obviously your kit can be picked up and carried no problemo, it took 2 of us to carry out the front section we cut out!! I took it out in one piece just so I could see and feel the weight difference. I have done a 4 corner scale with a total weight as it was, definitely will be doing another when it is completed. This is the before;

Ya,but mine rides like a magic flying carpet.
So i took the day off from the a-arm swap project today as we decided to work on the engine for my daughters rail today. This may be a great place to ask these questions as i believe one of you mentioned you are running the first gen 2.3 set up 😊😊We kinda are....but not really, so i am hoping you guys can help me out.The engine we installed in her rail today is 2165 VW, but it is running the complete fuel injection, distributor and electronics from a Ford 2.3 along with a garret turbo. All the parts are either from a 84 mustang or 87 thunder bird super coupe, I am not 100% sure, i was told either when i purchased all these parts. After a complete rebuild and some other work we finally installed the engine today. Without many hiccups the engine fired. I now have it if you hit the key it fires right up and sits there and purrs. If the throttle is just lightly but quickly hit it raps up fairly quickly but if anything more than that it will miss and lose RPM fast. I am assuming fuel issue but 100% sure yet. I just called it a night after getting it to fire so have not had much time to tinker with it.So i am wondering, what are these engines timed at? And what should the fuel pressure be set at? I read 38-42 but not sure if this is with vacuum on or off of regulator at an idle? My Ecoboost you set with vacuum off. Its kind of confusing with some of this, may sound odd but at first i wasn't sure if i time it like a VW or to what the 2.3 should be. I currently have it at 10* as that is what read for the 84 2.3.
not to tute ones own horn.....ya they look better converted to a arm
