better check your sanctioning body.....it's usually not an approved
modification.

you would be surprised what an inch difference in weight placement makes in
the corner weighting of a car, especially the engine and trans. If you've
ever used a tongue scale to balance your trailer load you can imagine what
moving the engine and trans will do to a 2000lb car.

Anyone have any experience with moving the engine mounting rearwards to<br>
