What model did you use and what modifications were needed?
While I don't think that it would cause any great performance numbers, I would say that limiting engine movement is a good idea. This could also be accomplished with a dogbone style brace off the topside of the engine to the firewall as well.
I do appreciate people throwing things out there for thought.
(Man there's alot of arguing around here. I thought the Fiero guys were crabby!)
