1st gen weight distribution.

[70 LS1]

What is the stock weight distribution front to rear for a 1st gen F-body?

[Van B]

I don't know about stock, but mine weighed in like this with LS2, T56, full DSE tubular front suspension with coilovers and a fiberglass hood. It has very little stock interior, pretty much carpet and a pair of lightweight Recaro seats and a rollcage.

LF 811 RF 786
LR 706 RR 723

Front 1597 52.8%
Rear 1429 47.2%

Total 3026

Oh yeah, the battery is in the trunk too.

I would like to know stock as well.. I hope my weight is right around what Van's is. With the big block, gear vendors, TH400 and Dana 60 it was 3420..
