If you want to know what it weighs, you're going to post the pertinent information about the car because a stripper slant 6 car with a 3-speed manual transmission and a 7 1/4" rear, and equipped with a single exhaust will weigh considerably less than a 340 hooked to a 727, or cast-iron 4-speed, an 8.75" rear and power steering, air, and power brakes.

You're looking at a difference of several hundred pounds between those two.

Nobody can help you 'til you tell us what kind of parts the car has on it.

I had a '69 340 GTS (bucket seats... heavy) 727, power steering and brakes, and it weighed right at 3,500 pounds. You car will be lighter by probably 200+ pounds... I'd guess 3,250, give or take a few...

I don't think it will be far from that.
