F/R Weight Distribution I've searched (using Google) but have not been able to find what the front/rear weight distribution is of 4th gen Firebird. Anyone know?

According to Car&Driver, the LT1 Camaro's weight distribution is 56.6% front, 43.4% rear. The Firebird would be similar; maybe a bit more nose heavy with the flip up headlights

Very little. The weight difference is 100 lbs, roughly. If 50/50 puts about 1650lbs on each end, a shift of 100 lbs will be minimal, expecially since the motor is located so far towards the rear. I really think GM added enough extra weight to void any weight savings there may have been from the engine change.
