Damn that's low & far back. Should do wonders for weight ratio

I want to raise it an inch or two because the transmission oil pan is just below the frame.

Final engine placement is a little higher than it was before. 13" back and 1" down from stock

At least give a hint at what kind of race car it is next to it.

It's the can-am car led zeppelin sponsored for a year or two in the early 70s.

I was wondering, I was thinking possibly an old Le Mans car or something.

Do you mean a plate between the engine and tranny? No. Do you think it's necessary?

Not necissary but not a bad idea either, main reason I say that is there's nothing supporting the front of the trans beside the engine, if the engine is removed without the trans the trans must be supported up front. It makes constant assembly disassembly easier plus adds more rigidity. Engine is also supported better than just the 2 motor mounts, I guess it really depends on how hard you plan on beating that thing up. More work though.. Was just curious.

Does that style trans have 2 crossmembers? One front one rear? If so no need for motor plate.
