I do remember someone posting their car scaled with a ka24de then a ls1 with a t-56 transmission. The ratios were closer to 50/50 front and back and the front wheels didn’t have as much weight on them as compared to the ka24de. A lot of the weight is that t-56 transmission and the engine sitting so close to the firewall but its in a very good spot for making the car turn better (low middle of the car). But S13counterpart your right on the total weight of the transmission and engine. Yes I am because I’ve done my research. The front wheels will have MORE wight if the LS isn’t moved back through the firewall… > [@sidewayz240"](#): > > With the engine sitting noiticably lower and further back in the chassis and a batt. relocation the weight distribution probably wont suffer, and may even come closer to 50/50 then stock as 3Vol said. > > ~200 extra lbs is nothing when you’ve just put down more then 250whp over a KA. Besides who here is going to be racing their car to the point that 126lbs is going to make a difference? **If you’ve ever auto-x’d 126 pounds will make a noticeable difference** The LS1 WILL NOT give you 50/50 WD (Unless properly corner balanced on coils). Not without moving it back and cutting into the firewall and tranny tunnel. with the t56 shifter in the stock s-chassis location it sits far enough forward The engine does sit a BIT lower than the KA. It’s also a bigger engine overall so the bottom will obviously be lower. > [@ISO: A CAR IN THE PRICE OF 10K-15K](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/iso-a-car-in-the-price-of-10k-15k/17640/10): > > It’s a general rule of thumb that anything “rogerthat240” posts is absolute shit. > > I’m glad you’ve refuted him, he NEVER backs up his info. Which is why there’s so much BS about the LS engine… Too many people who back their shit up. \*Next comment NOT directed at those quoted. People need to stop talking about this engine if they know nothing about it. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/ls1-in-a-240sx/119673)._
