Ah I see what you mean about the engine bar now. Looks like you may be able to beef that one up though to save having to make another.

Good to see some progress too.

it sits exactly below where the mounts are but the sump is resting on it. ive got some 3x2 box and have started fabricating my own. measure once and cut twice as the saying goes!! changed the plugs and leads today, got some other things to do too, wiring in the fuel pump and lines etc so much easier to work on than the vw 2ltr i took out.

been looking at the cooling side and have decided to put a fake spare wheel up front, had an hour or so outside today...ford capri rad and sierra twin fans. i am hoping to completley block off air flow all around the outside of the rad in a crude sort of ram air doing. few pics...

the rads fans are loom activate, double staged so hopefully this should do!
