Hey folks,
I'm curious about something I've seen a few times on here. I've read some posts about people dry sumping their engines so they could lower it in the chassis.
It's an avenue I'd like to explore when the day comes I purchase a kit, but there are a couple of things that got me thinking.
First, engine mounts. Do most kits have fixed engine mount locations. How have you tackled it?
Second, tranny. I would imagine that lowering the engine would force the tranny to be lowered correspondingly. How does that affect the angle of the halfshafts? Or do you angle the whole engine/tranny combo to keep the halfshafts at a safe angle (a la TWR Jaguar XJR-8 or Aston Martin AMR-1).
