My old spartan kit has the engine approx 5 1/2" back by bolting the engine mounting to a small triangular steel plate (supplied in the kit) which was then drilled and bolted to the rear existing flange of the tower in its original position. My kit has spartan's own chassis with wide spaced straight main chassis rails so bellhousing edge clearance was not an issue, but the mounting method above was intended to work with the standard triumph chassis as well. I can send a photo if someone can tell me how as I haven't posted any pics since photobucket changed.
