Zetec Engine Position.

Hi Guys,

Just droped my engine in my chassis, ready to design and build engine mounts etc.
One question on location of engine in the rearward direction etc.
At presesnt its sat about 10-15mm forward between the bulkhead horizantal top bar and the theromostat etc. This obvioulsy has the issue of the gear stick will clash with one of the horizantal transmission tunnel bars.
So I see some have added the gear stick mechanisum extention etc from Burtom Power and others. Some have cut the bulkhead horizantal out where the thermostat is, welded another piece back to back and so allowing the engine to go back another 25mm etc.
What have you guys done and what do you prefer?


Cheers!
