Aluminum bell housing, TTI headers. The squat actually changed when those 2 modifications happened. Not sure how much lighter the TKO is vs the A833. Still feels like a Whale compared to that ragtop in the photo above.
I was comparing your R/T to my Charger. I have the 727, you have the Dana. You are 4 wheel drum, I am disc. I have no A/C or power windows. Many differences that cancel the others out weight wise.
 
Close enough.
I haven't weighed the Charger since making several changes. I have to be near 4000 lbs though. I wonder how the Coronet is so much lighter?

I have an Old Car guide here. Keep in mind BB's are about 200 lbs heavier than SB's & the weights I'm quoting are Shipping weights, . that's about less 20 gals of gas.
Shipping weight of 1969 R/T Coronet is 3601 lbs...so Dennis, add Your Body & a tank of fuel, comes close to Your 4050.
Kernel, I dont know Your year, but according to this book, shipping weight of 68 R/T Charger is 3650....a 69 R/T Charger is 3646.
All my 318 B bods were nimble...the post the best cuz it was stiffer.....I rocked on the Twisties in Nor Cal, Hwy One Shoreline above GG Bridge was a hunting ground & I nailed a lot of exotics & quasi-exotics. 200 lbs on the front wheels makes a Huge difference in handling , feel & braking. Dennis knows my story about whacking a CHP in an 82 Mopar interceptor with my 69 Coronet 500 on Shoreline between Muir Woods & Stinson Beach....handed His *** to Him & He was grinning ear to ear....said it was the most fun He had had chasing somebody on that beat in 25 yrs. All 3 of my B's were bone stock.....just good footprints & nosedives.:)
