Do not give up just yet on the V8, no body said it was going to be an easy thing to build. If your still scratching your head over the height of scuttle and the engine 'I have a cunning plan ma lord'. Your not exactly short so with you sitting in the chassis put a 200mm high box on the nose and hold a broom handle from the top of the box back towards the scuttle. If you can still see over the top of the scuttle your in luck. Instead of using a fibreglass scuttle make your own from a set of rear tub bars,some steel sheet and P38. If your thinking what am I doing this for give me a bell and i'll come over and see if I can help.
