[Fot] TR4 Motor & Transmission Mounting

[Richard Taylor]

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?
