Weight
1975 Camaro was the heaviest Camaro ever done. Rated at 3785 lb. With his beaufiful heavy bumber (brased like a thanks) to meet federal rugulations of 5 mph bumper. The 70-73 Camaro was not so heavy (rated between 3xxx lb.) All increase weight for 74-77 models and later is principally concentrated at front and rear bumber and in the door. With the change for front and rear urethane bumber. 78-81 Camaro was losing weight (3xxx-3xxx lb) we found again sone heavy bumper bracket and in the door but fewer than before.
Before I change the engine. The car weight 3xxx lb (305 engine and th350 transmission).
