PA 20b weight gains/weight distribution

Hi Im just trying to figure out if a 20b engine upgrade with all the extras such as radiator, brakes, ect will drastically affect the cars 50/50 weight distribution in a 94' fd? I know it will alittle, Im just curious if its more than I think. Thanks.

A lot will depend on the specific execution—subframe/engine placement used, accessories, etc. It obviously adds weight all things being equal.

I follow you, I would like to put a cage in, nothing serious though. I figured that would help to displace the extra weight of the motor back to 50/50 and last case scenario I could push the firewall back a few inches to help with the difference, I would like to do my build the right way the first time.
