Is there any off-the-shelf mods available, maybe make some spacers for that cradle? If you haven't done so, maybe some searching of appropriate forum might give an answer.

We have built a fair degree of anti-squat into the PACE 427 as it has a slightly better than 50:50 weight distribution to the rear.

With the weight(and strength) of those Nissan rear ends, and your light GM engine, your Cobra should be slightly rear heavy as well. We had to do it by moving the engine, far, far to the rear.

Sambo, there is a heap of info on the skyline rear end on the Nissan sites,
You can adjust how the rear end reacts by using 'Pineapples-(well that's what they call them -maybe cause they're yellow ) and they go either in the front or the back of the rear cross member depending on how you want the vehicle to launch or turn in etc. I'll try and find some more info for you tonight.

Thanks Rog, I have heard of pineapples but I just thought they were a replacement for the stock bushing. I'll have a look on the Skylines AU forum, been there many times in the past.
