<div dir="ltr">I never had much luck in rearward mounting on the TR cars but the Spitfire and GT-6 got a little assistance by setting the front motor mount on the back of the standard position rather than the stock mounting point which is on the front.

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.<br>

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

Moving the engine mounting point is not likely to move the CG.<br>

Anyone have any experience with moving the engine mounting rearwards to<br>
possibly improve weight ballance?<br>
Any improvements to just the engine or transmission mounts?<br>
