I think youd be better off going with an obs and cutting the firewall and sliding the motor back as much as possible or do that to a nbs

Any pics of a NBS this way? I wasn't considering the NNBS.

Still no thoughts of pros/cons on the "performance" side of things?

I think for the advantages vs the amount of work required your better off spending your money and time on a nice rear coil over setup, it will look alot better and probably perform better then a 6 inch shorter wheel base will

Bump! Any other input on the functionality of the idea? Put aside the appearance and "too much work" thoughts for right now. Thanks.

I can't find the picture, but there's one I've seen on GMFS. It's a bagged black truck with gold scallops on it. It looks wicked strange. The proportions are way off. Don't do it, in my opinion.

It would think it would have the possibility of hooking a bit better on launches, all else equal.
