Yep drive it every day. Its pretty loud but not to bad its worse since the TH350 and converter since it stays in the converter most of the time on the highway.
Alt is still there it has a low mount kit from thunder racing(see the very first motor pic) I have been driving it with the DR's and skinnies for about 6mos now.

Oh OK. Couple of suggestions. You can get a fiberglass hood. The they weigh between 20 and 13 lbs. Also what about a dry cell battery?
BTW what is your complete list of weight reduction items. Just wanting to compare
