The CG isn't likely to be considered in the sort of vehicles this crate engine is going into, it isn't usually even from the factory. This is a 100HP motor, most cars with a 100HP motor are far from a 50/50 weight distribution. :-)
I'm more concerned with integration with safety features like airbags. I'd love to do an EV conversion of some fairly pedestrian car with my daughter for her first car, but I'm likely to take a fairly pedestrian donor car, and even a couple grand is going to get a car with airbags that need to integrate with the various sensors (including, as I understand it, ECU and engine sensors) to say when to fire.

- linsomniac 7y agoWhich Honda Prelude? The H22A engine puts out more like 200HP. Not at all in this class. Grassroots Motorsports corner weighed a Honda Civic Si, still performance oriented, still way over the 100HP, and found 62% front loading. The Honda site lists the 2011 Civic Coupe as 60/40 and 140HP.
