2700Lbs is not heavy.

There are 2 flavors of stock FC hood, steel and aluminium, I think the weights for both are in the FAQ.

Run on down to your local truck stop and put it on the scale. should be less than $10. The CAT brand scales are wicked acurate.

You're in Vancouver just drive to one of the scales off the side of the highway when they're closed. They leave the scales on all day.
