So I've been thinking about floor space a lot lately, mainly in the toe board/firewall area. I want to save as much space as possible for my feet by pushing the engine as far forward as I can. The grill shell is pretty deep from front to back, and wide enough to push the radiator forward at least 6-7". Are there any reasons you guys can think of to not push the engine forward? How far past the front cross member is too far for the center of the engine to be moved? As far as looks go, I'm not concerned about the engine being too far forward of the firewall, I can make something to tidy that up later.

Most importantly, are there any safety concerns with locating the centerline of the engine forward of the front wheel centerline?
