Engine placement

To the firewall or the fender well?

Each head has about 1 1/4 to the firewall.
I have 4 inches from number 2 plug hole to fender well and 6 inches from number one to fender well.

I think the whole thing is likely too far back but we built it for Stock class racing. Which is why it is a bit set back more than stock mounts.

I wouldn’t be opposed to moving it forward just so I could drop trans without pulling engine though!
