James Mullins (Reedz) and I decided to lower my engine to improve handling. The lower center of engine gravity produces better grip and less body roll, and virtually eliminates bump steer. And since the engine is loose on its mounts, the engine itself provides interesting amd exciting inertia of motion around hairpin turns

Here's a shot of my lowered engine. It's been dropped about six inches, which we concluded is ideal for handling improvements.

 

very interesting rick,
how does it affect everything else in the engine?
can you just drop the "engine" without moving and calibrating other parts around the engine???

 

Rick are you serious! Thats sounds like quite a bit of a job!

How long did it take you guys to do this?

Ya?

 

I'm so confused, and would like more info, haha.

 

 

Great job! Now watch out for speed bumps.

 

I would also like to hear some more information.

Did you install rollerblade wheels on the underside of your oilpan?
