Weight Transfer......Is it work the effort?
when i have my eng out of the Cuda, for the stroker transformation........It looks like i could cut, and move, my motor mounts brackets back about 2, with out messing with the fire wall.........Is it worth the effort????
Might even be enough room too move it 3" |

2 inches might be a waste of effort, unless it was a slalom car. For off the line, there are easier ways to get better weight transfer. Aluminum engine parts, fiberglass hood. A really good one is Wilwood front disc brakes, which take offf 20 pounds per front wheel. I did that. And, battery in trunk. Also, I'll bet there are some things you haven't thought of yet, that may make this difficult. Might want to mock it up first!

I had a friend with a 75' 440 ci valiant that had cut the fire wall and moved the eng/trans 6 or 8 inches back.
Don't know if he ever finished it...... But it sitting in the drivers seat looking at 440 there reminded me of sitting low in a van with out the dog house on. |

I thing it "spring" not Sprung, and yeah its almost here Yaaaaah!!!!!<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
JUST KIDDING! I understand.......Just thought i would be a smart a$$ this morning!!!!! I rebuilt my front end and added disc's brakes off a 73 cuda back in 89. Didn't understand any thing about these turns(sprung and unsprug weight) back then..............front end is still in good shape after all these year........... I thing it will be time to look close to these thing, when the eng come back out............. |

The disc brakes that were on there were from a 73 Swinger. Make good boat anchors! |
