the sump you can see is hitting the rail and the engine still needs to go about 8mm to the right.

i dont know about tacking width out of the sump as well as tacking a little off the bottom. if i need to keep the volume the same then i will need to weld a box on the other side of the sump.

Just done a dummy first fit of the engine and box. Sump will have to be modded. Clearence is tight on the side rail and hight of the motor too high so I will have to chop a piece out.

Can someone help with the dimmension from the engine/gbox flange to the top engine bay upper chassis rail when using a Pinto/ Zetec etc.

As an assides the the top of rocker cove to side chassis rails id 230 mm with the sump 25 mm below the bottom rail. A tall motor.
