For those of you with the 3.0L or 3.2L engine swaps, what is the new weight of you car? Just curious how much the motor swap adds to the car.

Thanks.

2875I think my 2.8 is about the same. The weight is not significant compared to the added hp and torque.

2900 lbs is about 150 over stock for a Ti. BTW 2900 lbs = 1314.5 kg

Especially when a 318tiA is 2833 lbs., or so says my owners manual.

I need to get mine around 2500lbs... but the roll cage and all the added hardware seems to have an effect.
I don't want to have an all metal interior gutted.... so I have to make a prompt quick decition.... keep the USELESS back seats?? (my amps are attached to the rear of this.) or Gut the rear and turn it into a pickup!@ lol
