<VV> Balance point for power pack

[Jim Becker]

Quoting the '60 Shop Manual, "The center of gravity or balance point of the 
complete power train is located approximately .200" behind the front face of 
the cylinder block."  I assume this is with a 3-speed manual transmission. 
A Powerglide only adds about 20# to the 460# of the complete unit, so I 
wouldn't expect that option to move it much.  Other variations of 
engine/transmission shouldn't have much effect either.

I find it somewhat amusing that they say "approximately" then quote the 
position down to one thousandths of an inch.

Where is the balance point for the Corvair engine with Differential& 
Transmission attached? I am thinking where bell housing attaches to engine 
block but not sure. Thanks John Gull
