Yep, I've got the sump flat on the table and raised the chassis 40mm above it.
I don't like the idea of the sump being that low below the chassis, but if I raised the engine any higher it wouldn't fit under the bonnet.
Height-wise it's going to be pretty blooming tight as it is. I haven't got a bonnet yet, but if I put the scuttle and nose cone in place and put a straight edge between them it looks like the bonnet will just skim the intake manifold.
I'm guessing/hopeing that once the engine mounts take the weight of the engine they'll compress slightly leaving me a mm or two clearance!
