I got the parts. How many people on here have a good
auto body grinder? Three to five HP?

Here are a couple of shots.

Big burning question:
Weight as is?

I don't know yet. Have not had one on the scale. I need another 300 pound scale for the
office. My guess is 4.5 pounds raw and an easy one pound out with a hack saw
for a 13B engine prior to 93. More if you want to have at it with a body
or die grinder.  The injector holders/bell mouths weigh 11 oz for the small
and 14 oz for the large. Both will lose a few ounces when finished. 
The Mazda injectors are three ounces each in case you are wondering.

A typical pipe bend might weigh about 7 or 8 ounces. Half that if you go with
high buck, thinner wall tubing. 

What does your current three carb set up weigh?
