CVH Engine height

[Jeze2903]

I'm planning on fitting my 1.8 CVH engine & gearbox in the morning, as i've run out of garage space and fed up with trippin over the engine ! As yet I don't have the scuttle or nosecone so I cant trial fit them.

Does anyone know the maximum height the engine can protrude above BR8/9Will this be governed by the centre of the diff to BR8/9, which is around 100mm?

Also how far from BR7 is the crank pulley, I've read 95mm?
Be most grateful for any ideas

Hi mate, i haven,t got the book with me but have a look at the thread "Big Day" (last page of the chassis section) as there are some photos of my engine install & i,m also using the 1.8cvh engine,
the 95mm from Br7 sounds famiiar too.
cheers
