To the group, My KR2 is standard length so a heavier engine brings the CG forward. If I move the 200# engine back 1" to 10 ?" firewall clearance that should have the CG more like the VW engine.
What should be the minimum firewall clearance to the engine? Has anyone done this to save having to add ballast?

Header or wing tanks, KR2 or KR2S, the weight from firewall back, the list goes on and on. Just remember, You can always move the engine forward with spacers but you can't shorten it unless you cut and re weld. Ultimately you have to be the final judge on where you need the weight. Good luck. Mike Sylvester kr2s builder Birmingham,AL.

The drawing I have indicates 11 ?". Is this what most KR's have? Should I end up with about 1 ?" of clearance or less? Thanks for any input. Ryan N9099A.
