Been a while. Be a bit busy and also have had to chage how I was going to do this to make it easier to engineer.

Had to modify the sump so I could move the engine back to allow more clearance of the steering. The egine now also sits lower to. :)

Looks good, and having the engine lower and further back can only be a good thing!!

There is almost enough room under the bonnet now that I could get a 6-71 supercharger in and only have the scoop above the bonnet

Because I decided to move the engine back I had to remake the engine mounts and the trans crossmember. So now I'm back to square one again. :)

Took the lip off the front crossmember to give the lower pulley some more room.
