Small update

So over the last few weeks I've been doing bits and bobs to the car.

First up was to test fit the box to the engine. I ended up having to modify the new bellhousing to make the clutch fork fit, which was a bit annoying as it should just be a bolt together job.

I then slung the engine and 'box into the car to see how things fit.

So, I can move the engine back further than the old XFlow, this helps with a bunch of stuff. It brings my shifter out from under the dash and moves the weight further in board (well behind the front axle). It will also help with the engine mounting, pulling the new mounts over the current mounting plates:

The other side will require more work but should be straight forward enough.

Along side this I've also started work on the fuel system, I pulled the tank out today as it will need modified for a fuel return and while there I also pulled the roll bar off to get powder coated, although I'm not sure on colour yet...

I've also got most the required bits now, plus some cycle wings to get rid of the old fashioned look :cool:

Have you decided what to do with the exhaust manifold and clearance on the crossbrace and steering linkage or will you go for a custom bonnet exit to make things easier ?

I'm currently siding on a custom bonnet exit for ease, it may be possible to route it through the frame and past the steering linkage, but it will be difficult to do. Plus, flow will be better if I go out the bonnet.
