Thanks, it's been quite a bit of work to get to here. I had to cut 40mm from each side of the floor, the main engine cross member has been chopped out and strengthened to allow for the sump. I fabricated a new cross member with heavy duty engine mounts that should hold the engine with less than 10mm of movement at the rocker covers. The gearbox cross member had to be cut out and strengthened, I still need to "re-route" the 4wd shifter.
Luckily I only need to steal a small section of cab space around the extractors and I still have standard space around the clutch pedal.

When I ordered the engine I asked for plain and black as it's not a show piece. When I picked it up they said they had to add some colour, I'm happy with how it turned out.

I'll be finalising the design of the custom aluminium radiator this weekend, it's pretty tight to fit a decent thermo fan in. I'm looking forward to driving it, and yes, I'll have the video camera out.

Cheers

Casey
