OOPs. 54% front 46% on rear. As for the front end seems like nice stuff once you get everything squared up and figured out. My only concern is how the front tires move while backing up then straighten back when driving forward.

Here are the weights. Now I understand. Left is the total weight of the left side of the car 1527 lbs. Front weight is 1396 lbs. So if you add the front weights LF 857 lbs.+ RF 749 lbs.=1606 lbs. which is 53.5% on the front. Rear weight LR 670 lbs. + RR 726 lbs.=1396 lbs. which is 46.5 % on the rear.53.5%+46.5%=100%

Same here, though the car is heavy and has aluminium block, heads etc. Tried to keep stuff as light as possible on the front.
These E bodys make it a bit easier by making everything from the bulkhead back extra heavy
