Now this is one fun project!

I'm sorry the car wasn't put on a certified scale with driver and full fuel before the motor was pulled. If the car was shown with a published (shipping) weight 3,775-lbs then I would expect that, with a few options, the car would have shown 4,225-lbs in stock configuration on the scale, with a weight bias of around 56/44 FF/RR. The actual axle weights would have been helpful for calculations.

It isn't just springs, but getting the front end back into alignment as well as rear braking bias. There's some work cut out here . . . .

Looking forward to more.
