I emailed Lane a pic of the removable engine cradle. Tried to post it but failed. Anyway, engine and trans drop out from the bottom as one unit.
@IaM-Ray No, engine position did not change, and won't for mid engine, but we are playing with he engine cover to buy a little more leg room. Proto1 had around 1.5" of dead space that can be utilized if the cover is done differently. Lanes will not be a good litmus test for this due to his roll bar and race harness mounts, and the next car down the one is rear engine, but after that I'll play a little more and see what room I can buy in reality...
