Man, I have no idea on that one. I could guess, but that would be of little use. But TTT for you anyway.

Early Camaro's were "generally" around 3100 ot 3200 lbs. If you subtract the diff. between the LS1 and the standard SB. you should be in the 2900 to 3000 lb area, maybe less.

Im gonna second the vote for 2900-3000. Thats the wieght with the larger (230 ci?) six cylinder, so i think thats a pretty good guess.

That would be for a bare bones 6.
I would add at least 1000+ more for a small block and more for a big........
A vert will weigh more too.......

Someone I know just weighed their 69 SS350 with full tank, spare tire and it came it right at 3500 lbs. Depending on options, figure on somewhere around 3300-3500. Subtract from that the weight difference of the LS1 vs a standard small block with cast iron intake, heads and exhaust manifolds. I would imagine you'd come in around 3000-3200 lbs with the LS1.

it cant be that much of a difference... Ls1 is aluminum but its still roughly the same size.. 150 lbs lighter? but would the t-56 be heavier than a standard muncie 4 speed?

My car was originally a 6 cyl, with a 3 speed, and a standard interior, with no options. My title says 2900 lbs, which is what I assume it originally wieghed in at. Ive done nothing to add weight aside from the drivetrain, so Im gonna say around 3k lbs.
