no, it is a t56 alright, out of my '99, and the one i bought is out of a '99. IDK. maybe the scales that UPS have are fuct-up but that is what it said, honestly i thought they are heavier too.
maybe the way it was sitting on the scale (off center) caused it not to be accurate. however it worked out for me, only $68 to ship it.

I'm the one who bought the "72lb" T56. When I saw the shipping weight (via UPS tracking), I wondered what could be in the box -- but sure enough, it was a complete T56.
BTW, I helped the driver unload it--NO WAY is that thing anywhere near 70lbs! Enjoy the "cash back" on shipping!

What about the weight of the flywheel (while we're on the weight subject
) ..... do you guys know the weight of an average steel flywheel? I'm supposed to be getting a shipped T56/conversion soon, so just trying to calculate as many of the parts as I can (I've already got a clutch here that I just weighed at 31 lbs 
).
Thx!
