Thanks a lot! Ive come too far to back out now!
Sorry about the camera phone pics, its all I have atm.
Here you can see the upper mount that is attached to the fuel rail mounts, the block has another two mounts attached to it so the whole setup can support the engine and trans.
You can also see how far back the engine has to sit. This is for a few reasons...
As you move backwards in the car the chassis rails get wider, allowing more clearance for the head. This is necessary in order to align the center of the flywheel with the diff and to get the engine as high as possible.
You can also see the thermofan that Ive decided to use in place of the F10A engine driven fan.
This shows the cardboard templates that I use to transfer the bolt hole location of the gearbox and engine on to a computer.
A word of warning to anyone that wants to do this conversion:
use a G13B block!. They are shorter in deck height (more ground clearance) and best of all the gearbox bolts right up to it... No adapter plate!
Thanks, all.
Sam.
