Aha. Perhaps I read Steve's message wrong. I read he was moving only the
mounting points rearward. If he's moving the engine and transmission, I agree
with you. A two inch move might be a thousand inch-pounds. That's significant.

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
possibly improve weight ballance?
Any improvements to just the engine or transmission mounts?
