Default Re: Modified Engine location

The location of the engine will be determined by the location of the midplate.
Also, the firewall will determine the location of the midplate.
In your case, you have a specific distance of 33 inches between the radiator crossmember and the firewall.

FIREWALL
The lower portion of the OEM firewall may be replaced with steel of
equal or greater thickness than OEM. Chevy Cavaliers, Pontiac
Grand Ams and Sunfires, and Ford Escorts may replace or relocate
the firewall, provided the measurement from the rear of the radiator
core support to the firewall is 34 inches maximum. For Chevy Cobalt
the radiator core support to the firewall is 33 inches.
For all others
vehicles, firewall must be in the original location. A complete onepiece
steel firewall that resembles OEM must be installed, welded in
place, and sealed from the driver compartment. The firewall must
extend to and attach to the floor. The firewall and mid-plate must be
two separate pieces. All motor plates, mid-plates, etc. must be
separate from and may not be attached to the firewall.
