I had considered that but I honestly can't say its going to help a whole lot without slanting the entire chassis to "lean" on the front. If its flat(and easy) the engine weight is going to literally be distributed strictly over the rears.
I'm thinking of moving the front wheels back as you suggested(it might make the steering assembly more tactile than having it extend as far) and putting the fuel tank at the front instead of sitting in or around the engine. It would also keep the height down so that the rear of the vehicle is the height of the engine mounted to the wheels and only as wide. I am also slightly concerned that if something went cataclysmically wrong the fuel tank is not a 60 lb bomb mounted to the engine. IF the fuel spills on the hot engine thre is a decent chance of ignition whereas if it dumps out front its alot less likely.
