Him and I have been tossing around the idea of dropping a NA 20b in my car all while using my same transmission. Since I plan on keeping it in NA form, Dave said the RX-8 transmission will do just fine. As far as the balancing goes, you are just better off taking weight off of the front end than you are adding weight on the rear. I didn't think you could move the 20b back 6 inches in the FDs.

I must say I agree with Dave and with your experiences regarding the trans.
You could move the engine 6" back in the FD, you'll just have to cut the firewall out and fab in a new one. Sounds easy right
