Hi everyone,
Am considering starting on build of a beautiful new Ultima RS. I have a nontraditional powerplant in mind, and wonder if there exist any reference documents on the chassis dimensions. In particular am curious about the engine space (back to the node where the downtubes intersect the rear chassis area) and the space where the fuel tanks reside.

If no docs exist, if anyone had the measurements of the fuel tank space, even that would be a huge help.

Thanks so much in advance!!

Jason where at in California? I live in Ventura County. If you are thinking of a Porsche engine in an Ultima its been done by a professional old school shop so it can be done but not for the faint of heart. Turbos intercoolers ect ect by the time your done the engine compartment looks like a steam powered generation plant. imho

San Diego. What I have in mind might be even more blasphemous than a P-car motor nuts

When I put in my deposit, I'll get access to https://www.ultimaownersresource.com/ right - are the specs in there? Or just the build guide?
