I started of with a Cologne V6 in mine. But my tunnel was built for a 4pot Type 9 which has a narrower bell housing. I could not get the engine back enough and the plenum was way over the bonnet line.

Now going down the 4pot route.

There shoudl be room for the full turbo technics stuff on the sides.

Talon is on here, it's a good price.

TT

Do you think that a t5 or a t56 would go in the same space as the mt75? Other concerns are does the gear change end up under your elbows.As I intend buying my chassis the last thing i want to do is start cutting great lumps out of it. Other thing on my mind is the diff and available ratios , how hard would it be to fit up a salisbury powerlock from a jag ?Would there be enough room in the rear of the tunnel io accept the nose of the diff has anyone already done it?

Hello Rob, I've made over 30 chassis so far and I have run a few group buys of wishbones and rear uprights no one has brought any thing back yet so they can't be that bad.
