Considering that the AMC V8 is approx 60 lbs heavier than the SBC and that AMC used a cast iron T10 to GM's aluminum Muncie, the weights seem reasonable and not "adjusted".

Thanks Dwight,,,,,,,,

Just what I remembered, the 1969 SC/Rambler was classed in E/Stock in 1969.

AMC did exaggerate the weight on their specification brochure.
The NHRA adjusted it to #3058 lbs., which was #102 lbs. less.
