Sorry to ask - i know the car is gone now - but is the CVH engine as useable in the Haynes build as the Pinto? I guess the engine mounts will need shifting - but is the engine height an issue?

[rpjg1975]

There are many builders including myself that have cvh engines fitted. The only issue that I am aware of heightwise is that you will have a k&n filter sticking through the bonnet unless you choose to run bike carbs

From memory I think the twinky engine is taller but there are still builders using them so not out of the question

I fabricated my own engine mounts so the engine sits lower in the chassis and I believe this is the norm also

Dont know about other areas but I had all the local pikey's offering to buy the shell when I have finished with it so should be worth 20 quid
