"Race" Block

Years ago, Popular Hot Rodding ran an article on the Magnum Force (or Alterkation?) front ends for the A body Mopar. In the article, they bragged about how the suspension setup shaved something like 225lbs. off the nose of the car. I don't recall the exact number, but you get the idea.

It seemd like bullshit to me, and I happened to have an entire 1973 disc brake k frame with brakes, control arms, steering, etc sitting out in the shop. So I hooked it up to my scale and it weighed - covered in dirt and grime, even - 7 lbs more than the poundage the article said was saved.

So I went on the PHR website forum and posted pic of the K frame on the scale and politely (seriously, not being a dick) asked if they had made a mistake. Their response? They deleted my post without any comment!
