I don’t know if COG is significantly changed because the iron short block is so much of the weight, but it is safe to say that it is higher. Having that inline engine versus the flat engine should add some roll and should load the front suspension more because of that. Finally, even if the motor is pushed to the firewall, there are six cylinders verses two pistons in the longitudinal plane, so there would be a change in front end balance.
With that said, has anybody actually seen or know of anyone who track races or auto-crosses their 2JZ swapped 86? I feel like most of these swaps end up being used for drag racing and used as highway queen grand tourers. It seems like the LS swap is the swap to do to maintain some balance to the car just because I have seen LS swaps here who track their cars regularly.
