Engine set back question

[tyoneal]

To All:

Have many of you built your car with the engine set back about six inch for better weight distribution? (69 Camaro)

My '33 has that so the 429 will fit right, but I don't see many people doing that with the 69 Camaro's.

Is it just to much hassle for the amount of improvement one gains?

What configuration would be the optimum placement for the drive train if you could have it anyway you wnat it?

That trick car Schwartz performance put together really seems to be set up correctly.

Has anyone done a mid-engine Camaro? (I know it's an idiotic question, but this group is very creative, and I'm always surprised by what people are trying)

Even Sacriligious thinking of putting a torque monster Diesil will probably eventually make itself into a 69 someday. Look at all the performance, "Banks" is getting. Those things rock and get good milage to boot.

I'm just think out loud.

Happy New Year to all of you!

Thanks,

Ty O'Neal
