[V8Vairs] <VV> Weight of a V-8 Corvair

[paulsiano@aol.com]

Sorry for the tardy reply.  (took a trip, came back to a computer with a virus)  Thanks for responding so completely.  Might you know the percentage of weight front/rear for a driver's weight?
 
Thanks again,
 
Paul

Just as a point of reference our rear engoned LS1 car weighed in @ 2675 with a full tank of gas in street trim. We have since replaced the rad with an aluminum griffin which dropped  20lb off the front.  Would like to see it around the 2600 even mark
