oh and nice to see you back to PROPER work go Ronnie go go go


Kinda of my line of reason Kev

I didn't realy enjoy the first day or so back on the build but have now managed to catch a healthy dose of enthusiasm

I have seen a few pictures of 7's fitted with an offset engine so I guess the prop should be able to cope !!??

Looking at the photos, if I can shift the engine 20mm ish over to the passenger side, I can probably get that engine 75 - 100 mm further back & that would probably resolve the bonnet clearance issue.

Just thinking aloud here ..... Would the engine offset to the passenger side better ballance the car ??
Just thinking, all the heavy stuff like the starter, alternator & inlet manifold is on the drivers side of the engine.

Thought about buying a bell housing for the type 9 gearbox but in the end went for the type R25-R28 Omega box that came out of a 2.5 litre v6 Omega
