i can post some photos later tonight of engine position etc,

as for the gearbox position, basically you can use the reversing light switch on the drivers side of the gearbox as a guide to the forward post tranny tunnel upright next to your left leg (sorry haven,t got the book with me).
the gearbox position then dictates the engine position.

if you look in the thread "big day" in the chassis section there are some photos of my engine/gearbox fitting.

cheers

Thanks, i just wondered that i ended up cutting this(cant remember name of that tr) out as there is no was the engine would fit with the carbeuretter and other bits on it so i ended up cutting it out in frustration. i still dont think the engine will fit with that tr in place.




do you have a t9 or mt75? ALso could you get a pic of where the gear lever would go so i can see where abouts that is in the transmission tunnel it sits.

ive also for the past few days successfully resisted the urge ot sit in it and make silly car noises.

Thanks!!
