Been talking with AJE Racing about their K-Member and Front Suspension

73-76 small block K-member weighs in the neighborhood of 35lbs (I've shipped quite a few). Even if you add the 1/4lb of stiffening gussets, etc. you've still got a fairly light piece. Superior handling can be achieved using factory style parts (larger t-bars, sway bars, firm feel steering gear, etc.).
