I read elsewhere that you went from the BRP mounts to some ebay 1" setback adapters. How far did the engine move (up/down and rearward) when you did this?

i did switch out the brp's but not for ebay mounts. ive got transdapt mounts.
they move the motor pretty close to the firewall but not too close for me to sweat over it. lol
