It has been a long time since I thought about a big and small block chevy.

Interesting. I'm guessing that the difference in LS1 weights are due to flex plate versus flywheel? Also, from the weights comparison, I'd guess that the SBC's don't include the weight of the flywheel?

I believe you are correct.

Thanks for the help.

Does anyone design their cars for 50/50 weight ratio?

If so, how does one go about accurately measuring it?

I'm really interested in building it, "as right as possible".

Based on the stock first gen design, what would you do to increase it's cornering ability other than putting excellent tires on it, and lowering the suspension?

Thanks again,

Ty
