Re: MGB-V8 Weight

[Simon & Donna <sdaustin@shaw.ca>]

I had my car on a dyno a couple of months ago.  Pretty much the same setup 
as yours, Glenn, except for a 3.5 + Rover 5-speed and custom rad.

Weight on print-out is 2750 lbs. (I'm hoping this includes the driver!). 
I've seen those meters for sale but wasn't sure if they'd work on our 
non-computer-driven cars.

Let us know what you find out.

Cheers
Simon
