        2300lbs or so. I have not weighed it since the aluminum heads were installed.
        It is fun to drive. It does everything pretty well other than stop! Upgrading the brakes will be a big undertaking (and expensive) but it needs to be done.

          Why is that? Wheel size? Do they make brake systems for those cars?

            It is more than just brakes. The wheels are 13", so those will need to be replaced as well. Drums in the back. Single reservoir master too.

              11" discs all around and a dual master cylinder were a BIG improvements on my MGB

            Was the actual "Get Smart" car a Tiger, or just an Alpine? Take care. Tom Worthington

              Depended on the scene. All were badged as Tigers. However, in most scenes, it was a rebadged Alpine. The gun that was installed in the hood did not work with the V8, so those were Alpines

                    A friend with a Tiger said he got a brake kit from Wilwood (10" discs all around), he has 13" MiniLites on his, says it's a BIG improvement

                      He's just a car show friend, we cross paths a couple times a year, next time I see him I'll get more info (thinkin' call Wilwood and ask for a tech might work)
