I kind of figured that. I debating to myself should I make a 107 subframe to fit a 104. I'm kind of loosing the debate with the M113 at just over 400#. But the 104 has plenty of interest for people that want to turbo or supercharge. Lots more room to work with so I would be interested in getting an accurate weight.
I remember changing a Ford FE 390 intake manifold from iron to AL. That netted a 66Lb savings. But then that manifold was about the size of a 104 block.
