You could always use spacers on the firewall to move the engine mount forward 1 or 2 inches and then you wouldn't have to modify the engine mount at all. A little W&B math should get you into the ballpark for spacer thickness.

This is quite easy if you are making your own engine mount or are up to modifying it. When changing engines I did exactly that and got to within 3mm of my desired result. You can always call me on 07 4095 3956 to discuss in deapth if you like. regards Barry Kruyssen Cairns, Australia RAA 19-3873 KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html "I can train a monkey to wave an American flag.
