I do suspect that this will be fairly brisk when complete. Excellent if you don't want your takeaway to get cold on the way home.

I do tend to do that. My last race car if it hadnt been used that week often did the takeaway run at the weekend.
May have more trouble with this one keeping the take away from being coated about the inside of the car.

[JollyGrnMonster]

Battery mounted.


Spare svx engine dropped back in for mockup purposes



Simon

No.

I have made chassis mods but not because of the engine.

I have cut away as much as possible and replaced with chromolly to aid weight though

[JollyGrnMonster]

That was the orignal plan to mount it under the rear. But decided extra water, extra pipes, extra pump all added weight, all be it in the right place.

Its something I might consider in future.

Managed to get the gearbox in and the inlet manifold on today. All just mock up to make pipework and fuel/oil/water lines etc.
