Another set back
 

I just got done with modifying my firewall and trany tunnel to accommodate my engine set back. I am not sure on the final numbers as to how much the motor is set back over stock because I have nothing to reference stock location relative to mine I just moved it back far enough for the balancer to clear the rack mount with a little room to spare.

I am just wondering what every one else has for set back if any.

Looking good, Brian. Is that a wheelbarrow ala Banks?

Good eye Scott it is a wheelbarrow. I actually got the idea from Wayne Due when I was talking to him about Tyler’s car. His made the same way as mine. It must be split in half and widened about 4 inches to be wide enough for the motor to fit in side. I am sure that they had to due the same thing on the banks car but speed lefever is a better sheet metal guy than I am so you cant see where it is widen, but on mine you can.

As for the spindles I made them as well as the rest of the frame, they are the JPIFS spindles. The rear will be a three link. My car is basically the camaro version of II Much minus the perimeter frame it has all the same suspension.

great work! that firewall looks killer

Good job Brian. Besides a real clean look and solving a clearance issue you get another good weight balance improvement.

I love pics!

Nice work. You should post a pic of the tranny tunnel you made.
