Actual claimed dry weight on the title is 3550lbs from Buick vs claimed dry weight of the LX 3102…448 lbs difference. Again, back to the original post…some of the finer resto rod Mustangs built have gone the route of a speed density engine, complete with new technology A/C, electronics and interior touches for years now and it is a pretty easy car to build. Here is a link to a Mustang Monthly article that discusses many of the different approaches to building that Mustang of yours: [http://www.mustangmonthly.com/thehistoryof/mump\_0504\_rebuilt\_vintage\_ford\_mustang\_best\_build/index.html](http://www.mustangmonthly.com/thehistoryof/mump_0504_rebuilt_vintage_ford_mustang_best_build/index.html) --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/most-cost-effective-setup-for-65-stang/197734)._
