engine in

[misty]

as yet the mounts are not made but the engine is sitting level with the bottom of the gearbox and chassis but still it is above the bonnet, Had a look at the pics you mentioned but none that i could see where the pinto had been used maybe they have been removed, will have another look tomorrow oh mean today later

I presume you are using the Type9 gearbox? if so then the bottom of my bell housing sits 25mm BELOW the bottom rail of the chassis, I think a few ( probably most ) builds are like this , maybe if you lowered the engine/box by 25mm it would solve the height problem for the bonnet?

Sorry I don,t know for sure as I didn,t use the Pinto.

Just a thought....& please forgive me if I,m asking an obvious question

Have you removed the center section of BR10 between U7 & U8 ? ( as per the drawing on page 41 Fig 4.12)
