weight distribution

my car...71 rs lookalike...with stroked sbc was cornered balanced with 175 weight for driver....frt 494 448 37.6 %
rear 804 762 62.4 %

i have a 930 gearbox, aluminum trailing arms, 930 rear brakes and aluminum front cross member, 928 s4 frt brakes with appropriate sways and torsion bars front and rear. oil cooler in the rear passenger seat properly enclosed and fed from the quarter panel window with two 3 inch naca ducts. period correct recaro seats, gauges converted to sbc needs. i run 7 inch by 16.. 951 fuchs in front and 9 inch in the rear... car has cibie driving lights, thru the grill fogs, and h1s, and six point harness.

these conversions can be done correctly and you can have a well handling, powerful vehicle. my car does have aluminum heads but a steel block. next engine will have an aluminum dart block that would remove approximately 90 more pounds from the rear. i am not a track guy but the car handles well enough for me..twistees or straight! by the way, i did all the conversion work myself utilizing renegade hybrid adaptors, radiator, etc. by the way the car is not cut up and would be quite simple to return to original form...rs rear flares are much more work to remove than correcting the front latch panel which has been cut for a 6 inch by 20 inch air opening to the radiator. car cruises at 70 mph at 2200 rpm in fourth.
