Thanks for the reply. What you're saying is very true as it wouldn't be difficult to move the engine forward and/or drop it down. Just wondering if anyone out there did the same thing by basing the engine location off of the bellhousing crossmember and how it worked out for them.

Anyone else with experience here or the same situation?
