Newman's 1986 BMW 326rb build thread.

not ATM. i would like to say 2500 lbs… but i don’t think i am going to be gutting the car.

point: It seems the car weighs about 2750 lbs

point: The RB is assumably heavier than the BMW I6 it is replacing, however, i am hoping that Rb26 - AC - PS - twin turbos and cast manifolds = stock BMW engine weight.

point: I have been told there is 200 lbs of sound deadening. this will be removed

point: There will be some minor things removed for weight savings. If i had the car, i could tell you more. It will be a bare bones engine bay, that’s for sure.
