I have started fitting the engine. Even with the custom front end it is like putting a square peg in a round hole.





I want it to sit about 6-7 inches further back so the firewall will need to trimmed before I can even make the engine mounts.



I also need to move the pedal box over about 1-2". It would barely clear now but I want a little room. I am going to switch to an electric power steering column and move the steering shaft so it enters through the firewall much lower as well.



The alternator is also going to need to be relocated higher up. I will switch to a smaller higher amperage unit in the process. I'd like the engine to sit much lower down so I'm going to need to play with the steering rack mounts. I welded them a little high up on the crossmember to begin with.
