Was curious If someone has a list of the stock curb weights for 64 1/2-73 Mustang coupes, fastbacks and sportroofs. Any info is greatly appreciated and thanks in advance.

Yea, I see a reason to love it now too. Thanks that pretty much wraps that up.

When they say "(V8)", would thatbe the biggest, smallest or midway?





Curb weight
2570lb (1170kg) (six-cylinder)
3000lb (1360kg) (V8)

Im guessing big block.
Everything ive looked @ other places say 2800lbs 289 auto 1966.
Guess ill weigh mine one day. I added a roll cage and sub frame connectors.
LOL guess going to alu. heads got offset by the paxton tho then there is the 5 speed over the 4 speed.
Fuell cell over stock tank.

My guess is 300lbs for mine then add 250lbs for my fat butt!

5.0 weigh the same as the 289? my car started out as a inline 6 at 2500 lbs. with the AOD, 9' and 5.0 its probably around 3000 to 3200 i would guess.

cmanf

My guess it should weigh about the same as 289 same size and components.
The forged pistons more / less? cant be that much if any.

how hard would it be to keep a 68 coupe 390 around 2800? think it could be difficult. especially with a roll cage and sub frame like cmanf mentioned.

wont happen, lets say its at least 635, the chasis weight is let for ****s and giggles say 2000lbs already your at 2635, thats without the tranny probably about 100-120 lounds now 2755, 50lbs of roll cage 2805, now you lets lsay 200lbs= 3000lbs, you can get fairly close, but big blocks are heavy as hell, but the tq makes up for that

A little bit off-topic, but you might want to add the 3-valve 4.6 (similar to the S197 GT) at 420 lbs dressed (whatever that means). See page 94 in the current FRPP online catalog.
