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. Bob

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.  Bob

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

I got the chassis cheap on ebay just to use for mock and the engine is just an old block I had kicking about. The mule chassis has given me a chance to sus out where and what engine,gearbox, suspension and axles I can use, its been worth its weight in gold as far as this project goes.It will live again as a mock up as dadofseven is coming to get it to mess with his beemer v8. I am using a new talon chassis so hopefully wont need to de rust

Seriously though, that engine is going to look awesome in a Roadster.  Look forward to following your progress.

That inlet manifold looks a little out of place of the old block and test chassis! What the plan for the rest of the build? Be interested in seeing what gearbox and rear drive your going to fit in. Be nice to see some alternatives coming through for the Haynes.
