69 Small Block weight distribution
I was wondering if anyone could confirm the front/rear weight distribution of a 68/69 smallblock C3? I thought I read somewhere that it was about 51/49 or somewhere in that area, which I think is pretty darn good for a car of this era.
Is my vette stock?? HAHA

I read something similar and with the VBP front end , carbon fiber springs front and rear, aluminium heads and radiator and full size spare I maybe close to that.....

I have lightened mine up a bit with aluminum heads, intake, radiator, rear diff cover and driveshaft. Also composite rear spring, carbon fiber halfshafts , and Wilwood DynaLite calipers. When I had the new engine installed (440" smallblock), the shop weighed the car for me. See this thread........https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...-weigh-in.html
