Default Re: rear mounted engine?

I was thinking about doing this for a long time, but after I put my cage in it made the idea a lost cause. I don't think weight would be a problem at all. If anythink you would be spreading out weight compared to a fwd 3s. Stock the rear seats and fuel tank are all the weight the rear has, the front has everything. In a rear engine, the engine/trans are over the rear tires instead of the front, but you still have the battery, radiator, ac condensor, rack an added fuel tank and when I was looking into doing it an air/water heat exchanger/water tank. The reason I don't like the idea is the front of the 3s is very large, it just looks like the engine belongs there.
