Re: Chevy engine wt. comparison
Quick search says BBC 665, SBC roughly 575lbs, Iron block (LQ4) Gen III+ roughly 520lbs, Aluminum block (LM4) Gen III+ subtract 75lbs or so.
The trucks are front heavy on account of the bed just being a sheet metal open top box and the windshield, battery and motor/trans forward of the center of the truck.
As to how better weight distribution actually affects the vehicle I don't have any more google time. Visually i'd imagine it would affect ride height.
