![]() ![]() ![]() here,s a side photo showing the clearance, the only bit below the chassis rails is the bottom of the bell housing, i,ve used a shortened Zetec sump. ![]() even tho the engine clears the bottom rails of the chassis there is still clearance above the oil filler cap to the bonnet. andy |

![]() That`s looking very good, if you don`t mind me saying so Andy!
I have spent all day trial fitting my Zetec engine but I aren`t sure how high I can go with it, would you mind measuring the height that the nosecone & bonnet are when fitted, i.e. above the top rails so I know how much clearance I have to play with? Thanks, Dennis |
