Default DOHC Twinky fitting ??

For the 2 or 3 that have fitted this engine.... is it possible to drop the chassis over the engine with just the plenum chamber removed....or am i going to need to take more out...i want to make a skate for the engine so i can trial fit ...make brakets ...check bits n bobs then rip it all out...my wee bro has the engine hoist in his work but has had the Audacity to bug@er off to austrailia for a month ....

Right its in ...had to remove the plenum chamber and some other ods and sods....its not lined up perfectly yet but its mounted on a skate i made out of a bit of the build table !! please have a look at the picks and see what you think...the pic with the rule is trying to show how much the sump is below the lowest rail at 55mm...any thoughts experience or comments would be appreciated ....away for a hot soak that engine is ruddy heavy on your own !!!

I noticed you have used chequer plate on the floor, have you ground the surface where it sits on the rhs or just rivetted it on? and have you used sikaflex?
