Plan: Move Engine & Transmission Toward Cabin

[Van]

Race Ready 7M

At this time, I'm planning to move the motor back four inches and down an inch to place more weight in the middle of the car and lower the center of gravity. Additionally, I plan to move the seats back four inches and the pedals, as well as the steering wheel. Has anyone else modified their car this way?
This will necessitate moving the engine and transmission mounts, some of the fire wall, transmission tunnel and extending the intake tube. There maybe a need to extend some of the wire harness. Then the exhaust and drive shaft will be shortened.

hey van, the front member and oil pan are a point to think of too.. but, im not sure how far down the R154 can drop before its below the point of the bottom of the car, unless youre going to armor it? just as the same idea as alot of the Ferrari 458 undertray.. witch would also (if done right) should give you more down force aswell.

Good points. As we get this project going, we will doubtless encounter other challenges too...

well.. from what ive found, its alot eaiser to tackle stuff like that all at once cause you can work with one and around another..
