It isn't about weight distribution (well sort of) if the V8 is placed where it is on this car, the bump steer is extreme...the dist. should be approx. less than 1" from firewall, with fabricated engine mounts and hood latch. I have known someone who had one and the bumpsteer / steering response just sucks in this position.

No, it isn't close enough to the firewall...it it was, it would need a fabricated hood latch...it appears to have the stock hood latch, which is in the way when you have the motor back.

I'm not a v8 fan (in a Zed) though, so I'll shut up.
