A couple of inches will be more trouble than help...5" would be a minimum to make a difference.

Two or three inches I think I can do without modifying the firewall. Five, on the other hand, is going to take more modification than I am capable of. A little sheetmetal work for the transmission tunnel I can handle, if needed, but the firewall is much too complicated and I don't have the skill yet.
Besides, even if it's only two inches, since I have everything apart right now, what have I got to lose?

You won't move the motor hardly at all before it hits. 1 or 2 inches isn't worth it. Better off going with an aluminum block. You will need to move it back 5" plus to see any benefits. 50/50 is way back, Phaseshifts car is way back, Big Red is way back, all of these are closer to 6-8 inches back.
