Cobra Weight Distribution....
I'm looking into all my engine options. Wondering what the weight distribution is with a Small (Iron) block Ford (305/351). I'm wondering if putting an Aluminum block engine would make the handling better or would it be too light? I thought I had read somwhere that with the IRON block the weight distribution was 50/50 front to rear, but I can't find that information anywhere. So would adding an aluminum block make the front too light? Is anyone using an LS1/LS6 engine in their Cobra? That is consideribly lighter than a stock 305/351 Iron block.
Thanks,
Jim
