Yeah, it pretty much just dropped in there and balances on its own. There are four 1/4" spacers that are provided and I used all of them so that the oil pan would be able to clear the K member. If it had a different pan I could probably drop the engine down a bit. As for engine set back, I haven't done anything. It should be in exactly the same position as the engine in their test car. Speaking of which, I got to ride in their test car with Kyle when they came out to Del Mar. It is a fun little car, that revs to 8250, and that is where the engine spent most of its time! It handles well enough I'm not too worried about changing the pan to lower the center of gravity. Besides, if I lowered the engine, the transmission would be hanging down quite a bit.
