In all honesty, I looked in depth into relocating the engine/transmission back approx. 3" ala prodrive's WRC cars and a few track soobies. Its doable. Infact there are custom motor mounts available just for this purpose. As we all know, the SVX is remarkably nose heavy. However the fabrication involved, not to mention the custom axles with high misalignment cv joints make it really not worth the minor shift in balance.
A good rear spoiler would shift the c.o.g back enough to equal that of relocating the engine.
