Scott -

'66 427 - 2998 SS/B Iron heads, 3063 Alum heads 435/445

'65 396 - 2738 SS/B Iron heads, 2803 Alum heads 395/405

These are achievable. My car weighed 2775 w/driver when it was built. That was without lightweight seats, with iron heads, filled block. We had 350 lbs. above the rear axle and additional 100+ ballast in front of the radiator to make the 50-50 rule (remember that?).

Not sure to be honest. Charlie posted a photo on Facebook but I couldn't tell where they were.
