Does anyone know the estimated weights of 87-93 Gt hatch, Lx hatch, Notchback and Vert. I want to take my motor out of my vert and put it in a Gt or Lx hatch or even a notchback if its worth it.

I have heard that the biggest gain in going to the coupe body is chassis rigidity, so being lighter and stiffer that's good right!

Every car is different.

My 87GT t-tops (fully loaded with AC) weighed 3250 with no spare or jack and a 1/4 tank of gas.

Usually, if fully loaded, expect about 3150-3400 depending on body style and options.
