I'm evaluating what it would take to put a EP 912TSi engine in a plane designed for a 915iS. This means the proposed new engine is lighter, and I'd like to modify the engine mount (shift engine forward) to maintain the CG of the aircraft as specified by the manufacturer.
Original dry weight: 84.6kg/186lbs
New dry weight: 68.6kg/151.5lbs
Here is info from the datasheet of the plane I am evaluating:
(probably need to sign in to see)

Questions:
- What other variables are needed in order to figure this out? (engine mounting point? etc)
- How far forward does the engine need to move to maintain CG? *
- How does one go about calculating it?
