I have a 65 lb bar (square tubing filled with lead shot) up front, right behind my fog lights. Two 1/2" bolts to the front bumper support bar. Rest is in the weight box in the back.
Duct tape stopped shot bags leaking shot into the weight box. Got tired of having to use the shop vac to get loose shot out. A cut down floor mat keeps the bags from wearing against the heads of the 2 bolts holding the weight box in place.

We've got 125# welded into the front frame structure now. A weight box on the passenger side floor. The gas tank is kinda behind the back seat. No extra weight behind that point.
Very hard to steer now with a gutted power rack.
To be clear, the picture is of my Omega with a 350 Buick,...about 10 years ago.
And yes, it still spun the tires once in a while.
