Is this engine set back too far?

[DaveFoster]

What do you think? Too far?

No, but I hope he has good drive-shaft safety hoops!

Sitting directly over it like that. :eek:

I guess this is probably some sort of drag race car, but it's similar to what I would build if I were into that body style.
Mid-engine, lots of possibilities.

Main difference is that I would at least put in a firewall and floors, then tweak the suspension to handle corners.

No, but the radiator hoses are too long.

I dont know about the engine Iv'e seen alot of mid engine cars. Whats got me is the pitman arm/steering arm inside the door. Iv'e seen them mounted on the side of the cowl or the side of the chassis but can't say Iv'e ever seen one on the inside of the door

As weird as it looks, it does do away with some interference problems

Judging from the photo...
Given the proximity where the engine and interior seat reside, that's gotta be an awesome thrill with all that horsepower running between ones thighs. bang
