I'd like to add that moving the engine only a couple of inches is not really worth it. The effect on wheel weights on a 108" long chassis is nil.
I think you'd need to move the engine at least 6" to 10", and 10" to 12" would be better. Moving something smaller like the battery from front corner to the trunk is equal to moving the engine back a foot! So do all those tricks before considering moving the engine.
Moving 50 lbs (battery) 10 feet is equal to moving 500 lbs 1 foot.
