Default Anybody weighed their 5.0 NA?

Anybody ever weighed their 5.0 swapped NA?

If so, please post curb weights here with significant additions/deletions like:
With or without A/C
With or without roll bar
Cast iron or aluminum heads
With or without driver (and driver weight if with driver)
Heavy or light wheels
Etc......

Thanks!!

This is from my corner balancing.
That was with stock hood, stock motor with iron heads, full cage, fastback top.
I now have fiberglass hood and aluminum heads.

Thanks!

Is that with or without A/C and with or without driver? What's the driver weigh if with driver?

Thanks again...

I think at that time AC components were installed. All removed now. No driver.
