I'm kinda thinking that with a late-model aluminum 6.0 and some attention to component choice and location it might be possible to build a '66-72 that's not too far off 50/50 weight distribution.

Not only are the newer engines far lighter, the whole FEAD including alt, AC compressor, PS pump, etc. doesn't weigh a whole lot more than an old A6 AC compressor by itself, never mind bracketry, pulleys, etc.
