So, I've tried setting my engine in place to get an idea of where I want to put
it. As a reminder, this is an '86 Toyota Corolla that's getting a Yamaha R1
engine to race as an I/GC (Note: this means I've got a significant loss of
weight over the front wheels already).
I can either put the engine forward and low in the car, or close to the
firewall and up a couple inches. Putting it near the back would require a hood
scoop, while the forward position might not need one. I've got some ideas on
which I'd prefer, but as I'm new at land speed racing, I wanted to get a second
opinion. Any tips would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike
