Default Engine In Mule

Have been playing with the camera so I have taken some of the mule with an old 302 block and heads on so you can see how compact they are. Block is stood on a lump of channel that is the same as the sump depth so it could go down an inch.




Really easy engine mounts



Only 250mm to the top of the trumpets from top chassis rail so easy under standard bonnet.







Not a bad fit for a v8.

Continued from other post because it can only take four pictures


Exhaust goes under top rail easily.


Engine only sits above the top rail by 3" aand can go down another inch if need be.



Loads of room for the steering and brakes.

That is one horny vision of loveliness Robo, watch out for the terminal understeer such a heavy engine will create in your Titanic build (joke).
