    Any one else have their engine back this far? Can I maybe move the body back? It is fine, but i would like to maybe put on some Lakester pipes. And I can't get to the back spark plug.

    I think it looks like your going to have to do something different with your steering as well. Mainly the front header pipe will want to run right about where your column is currently . Not so sure about moving the body it will change your tire placement and hood length and might end up looking goofy. Not trying to discourage but it seems like a lot of work for a set of pipes.

    I think I agree, the engine would have to be moved forward, and the steering changed in order to do lakes pipes.

    A pile of work, but if you want it badly enough it can be done.

    I would not move the body back. if anything needs to be moved I would say you should move the engine forward
