Installing a T5 into a 1978-1988 GM A/G Body
1978-1981 = GM A Body 1982-1988 = GM G Body
20. Weight Savings
Surprisingly, there is little weight savings after installing the T5. The T5 is much lighter than the TH200‑4R, but there are many more components involved. Refer to Table 20‑1 for the details. My notes regarding these weights are old and sketchy, so they may not be accurate. If any of these weights are grossly inaccurate, please drop me a note.
