battery to the back, remove unnecessary components but whatever you do, dont turn your mopar into swiss cheese

Buy one of Bill's front ends, save 150-200 pounds i'm guessing Does anyone know whats the weight diff. is ? stock K-member vs. RMS front end ? https://www.reillymotorsports.com/i sure this is the best way to go if you have that cash. maybe one day.....

AlterK saves about 98 pounds over stock manual steering. There are two bumper brackets on each side in the front - get rid of the outer half and swiss cheeze the remaining one.

There are a lot of little things you can do reasonably affordably, but the big weight reduction items cost $$$. I dropped 250 lbs off the front end of my Dart with an AltK, Indy aluminum block and heads. I dropped prolly another 35 lbs off front end with other misc. item removal, but like I said the big ones cost money. I bet you could lop off a good 75 lbs by taking off that blower and pulleys and it wouldn't cost you a dime
