Your situation hits rather close to home for yours truly. On the plus side, I
now have a nice "thick-flange" alloy bellhousing for the Hardly Boys RaceSpit
4, so I can write off another 22 pounds (about 8 as opposed to about 30 for
the cast-iron bit). Unfortunately, that still means a net GAIN, with driver,
of about 20 lbs. total curb weight from two years. Time for a further weight
reduction program...anyone got fiberglass body panels? :-)
