However I would imagine that due to rules, possibly such as the firewall not being allowed to be modified, a transversely mounted engine might have a center of mass behind that of a longitudinally mounted engine, even though the rearmost part is farther forward. That's my only guess. Also, Corollas come with the engine mounted transversally- do rules allow modification? Would the engine fit in the bay if it was mounted longitudinally?
