Just what should a 'complete chassis' consist of?

[Eddy]

In terms of the Roadster though, Ronnie said yesterday that the mounts for the Zetec, Pinto and CVH are all reasonably close.

If they are close enough it would be possible to make one chassis that can take all 3 engine types without modification

I know its not entirely universal, but would give people buying a complete chassis some options...

i would look to confirm the donor engine choice & fit the engine mounts relevant to the position that is needed.

its a case of communication between the customer & the chassis builder

One chassis can suit at least 5 car motors and 5 or more bike motors without changing the chassis...change the chassis and you run the risk of nobodies bodywork fitting. I know mine fits Chris's design because I made a chassis first then used that to make sure it all fitted nice and snug like.

Also from what I understand of the IVA you are best sticking to the Donor engine and gearbox anyway unless that ratty Sierra was fitted with 'Busa motor prior to being used as a donor then no worries...
