Weight ratios for 72 Corvette?

[Bruce Noland (48784)]

Does anyone have a source for weight ratios/ballances for the 72 Corvette? I would like to find out how much weight is on the front end and on the rear end of a small block car and a big block car. I know the engine and drive train are offset 1 inch to the right. How does that effect the weight from one side to the other. Thank you for your help.

Bruce:

From the Engineering Product Information Department, under the Dimensions and weights section for my 1971 Corvette booklet, it states shipping weight of basic vehicle with regular equipment, including grease, oil, engine coolant to capacity and (3) gals of gasoline to be for a coupe at front 1634lbs and rear 1568lbs.

Maybe this is some help?

Thanks Warren. With a full tank of gas it looks like the weight is right on 50% for the front and 50% on the rear - without driver or passenger.
