The bad news has several components. The first is you will move your center of gravity forward, which will make the rear of the car lighter.....
Ed,
No, I won't be repositioning the engine mounts further forward for the "bad news" reasons you mentioned.
At the worst, all I need to do is source the adaptor for the forward position (of the three available) for the shift lever. Problem then solved. Maybe the reasons for the somewhat perplexing issue will eventually become apparent.
It's frustrating when 1+1 doesn't equal 2

Cheers!
