THX for the rule-book info/quote Pro-uN !

The severe engine set-back I am talking about is the Caravan project ... putting the RB engine in where the regular front seat driver and passemger is ...and then drive-it from the second-set of seats in the rear.

Have to build a special dog-house with cover. Small round or square tubing with two layers of 032 alum on either side of the tubing with some foam insulation inside ? ..

The rule due NOT require two layers of metal on the doghouse cover. But there is a difference in which fire suit/gloves/shoes the driver must wear if aluminum is used, depending on speed and if power adders or alcohol fuel is used.

And while not in the rule book, I highly advise against any foam sound deadener. Burning plastic foam is similar to Napalm.

Depending on how you configure the engine cowling, it may be difficult to pass tech with a motor relocated into the drivers compartment.

Again depending on how it is built, it may need to be classified as an exhibition vehicle.

I know this guy was having issues a few years back.
