    bigger engine size adds weight. I-6 200 2600 or so, not sure on 302 but my guess is 2800 or so.

    Our bone stock 72 grabber weighed 2881 Lbs with A/C, half tank of gas and the spare tire. The car now weighs 3033 with most of the new weight in the rear.

    Bigger springs, wheels, axle, mufflers, sway bar, and battery. The balance went from 57% front 43% rear to 55% front 45% rear.

    The roll cage weighs about 250 lbs. The rear axle is also very heavy. It's big web truck housing with 35 spline axles. The rear sub frame only weighs 75 lbs. The rest is .040 aluminum.
