Davie. I have just had a look at your build photos.
May I ask if the engine pictured, is in its final position. This is more or less the final placement that I was thinking.
I have just been out for a quick measure up.
With first gear engaged I can come forward 55mm before contact with the transmission tunnel rails.
At its current level, I have 200mm to the top of the timing belt cover ( Measured from the top rails )
Have you been able to fit the original Zetec Thermostat housing Davie ?
Thanks for your support chaps |
Ronnie
thats my final position of the engine best of both placements of the engine and box not much clearence at the reverse switch but i can mod the switch if needed. i have used the original thermostat housing but if it needs to be removed when the cars complete i would need to raise the engine to get one of the bolts out. i havent done much to the car since the pics were taken as im about to lose my garage (being made into another room) and had to build a build area in my back garden almost complete so i can start on the car again
