mrl390 Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 We got to use the scales today in my chassis fab class so I decided to weigh the monte. It came out to 3458lbs. Perfect 50-50 ratio from right to left but it has a 65-35 ratio from front to rear. In comparison we weighed an 89 trans am that came out to 3350lbs and a late 90s early 2000s mustang gt that came out to 3292lb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w-bodys_are_the_best Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 I just use the local grain elevator's scale at night when they're closed. They have the display facing out the window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98montels Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Is your motor all iron? I am trying to figure what my z weighs now. They said the motor was lighter than the 3.4 DOHC that was in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sloick Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 i would bet a 3.4 weighs more that a 3100 just because 4x the cams, and the huge upper intake manifold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monte Carlo Z34 Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 I remember a while back when I went to the scrap yard and drove on the scales, IIRC is was around 3580lbs, but I also had 10 catalyic converters in the back plus my system(2 12s). This was in my DOHC monte too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
