Message	who says it fubars the handling of the car? i've yet to see a VG30 swap into a 240sx done by anyone who actually seemed to care about handling or did any testing. Like has been said, shorter engine will move the center of mass towards the center of the car and lower the polar moment (I think i chose the right term....long night). Same effect figure skaters have when they are spinning and bring their arms in to accelerate the spin. Same reason why you basically sit on the NSX motor too. rich '91 300ZXTT "Stage 2.5 10psi" 298.5RWHP / 302.5FT-LBS 13.4 @ 106 Z32.org ghozttz32 = AIM "im going to bring a keyboard if he comes just so he can try some shit talking" -anonymous
