Is that a manual gearbox? Looks very compact. I have all the bits for a Zetec black top roadster but after reading this months kit car mag I feel like going onto BMW now.

Looks like a Getrag box, and yes they normaly are quite compact.

Love the l6 engine layout. You will probably have some fun with the steering column extension. and you might want to add a couple of inches to the engine bay... but yeah should fit!

Hey,
Do you have any updates on you engine installation?
That's what I'm looking to do. Perhaps with with a rear gearbox with diff to balance the car a bit more. A gearbox say out of a 1999 audi a6, shifting issues though. What do you think?

Heres mine.

Wow, that certainly fills the engine bay :eek:
Any ideas how much that lump weighs.?

It has the M52 2.5 straight 6 engine with large air intake manifold:cool: , mmmm 1 day when the bodywork falls apart that engine will find its way into my Roadster :cool:
