Please stop spreading mythical BS like you know what you're talking about. That's why newbs get dazzled with BS.
The only part of the engine even NEAR the front wheel centerline is the damper and that's behind the plane. There is NOTHING "over the front wheels".
An ERA (any ERA and most 90" wheelbase replicas) with iron block and aluminum everything else is 49 / 51 at worst and 48 / 52 with driver seated.
