Not really. Weight is really close. Maybe 20 pounds, nothing to worry about. But the cost to build a 700R-4 to live behind a 6.5 isn't worth it. If you salvage from a '92-'93 you can get the 4L80E and the controller. Being nose-heavy isn't of any real concern since this car obviously isn't being prepped for 1G cornering.
