The steering shaft on mine cant go straight down to the steering rack. I have mounted a bearing down the front to allow the first section of shaft to run parallel with the engine. Also I have got the engine a bit lower, flywheel at 12" diameter < 300mm for the kids> and the sump reduced to 6". The engine mounted so there is only an inch <25mm> under the car. That was the max most of the forum members recommended. hope this helps.
