Yeah, been spending a bit more time in the garage but all the ancillaries are only temporarily fitted with a few nuts and bolts. Putting it all back properly and installing the wiring loom will take much longer.
At the moment I'm kind of doing space planning to work out where everything will fit.
I've had a look at the air intake elbow and MAF sensor. It clearly doesn't fit in its original position pointing towards the front of the car.

But borrowing the standard Marlin solution, reversing the elbow seems to work.....

It's a bit tight so I've got to be carefull how much I move the engine across to clear the rocker cover on the other side.

Just got to figure out where to put the air filter and 'cold air' input. I've also got to re-route the ICV pipe.
I also got out the windscreen washer bottle that I bought nearly two years ago. I think it'll slot in somewhere like this but shouldn't be too much of an issue to find a location.

Next up will be locations for the brake servo, Fuel pump, filter and surge tank.....
