Drive output Looks to be about 2 thirds of the way down the fly from the centerline.

Fly looks about 300mm in diamiter. so that makes it 100mm from the fly center and therefore 100mm from the bottom of the block.

Engein height = 426mm from base of block
+ the affore mentioned 100mmm makes more or less 52cm.

So.

If your keeping the drive shafts flat as possible, you will need to add 52cm height over wheel center. Wheel center on 17" /2 = 8.5" + 1" for the tyre. converted to CM is near on 24cm to the wheel center.

24 + 52 = 74cm to the IDEAL height the engine top will be sitting at.



Hope all that makes sense.
