Probably a poor choice in wording on my part...what I meant was 0.134 wall DOM tubing. Reasoning is I will be doing this on my own and don't have the expertise or equipment to TIG weld Chro-Moly. Btw, finally got a ring package for those CP pistons and I'm just about ready to re-assemble the engine for the other car...thanks again!

No, I have not weighed the Mustang as it sits yet. When we were working on the Camaro I had access to wheel scales and it proved to be accurate...may try to borrow those one more time for this car. I was just fishing for answers from others who have/had similar cars concerning weight.
