In our discussions regarding a full chassis '67, I think that the number that we came up with was approximately 6 to 7 inches of engine setback for "ideal" placement. Proper positioning of the steering rack to avoid bump steer issues was one of the key considerations as was, as Tyler can attest to, weight distribution. I ran about 2.5" of setback in my Super Stock car with no major issues (aside from headers and distributor clearance) but the additional 3.5" to 4.5" introduces a 'few' kinks as Tyler described.
