You don't need to cut away the bulkhead like that to fit the normal Jenvey ITBs, I didn't. I used a Bowyer angled inlet manifold on my Jenvey 45s and they clear the crossmember fine. The setup that Jamob has gone for is the Jenvey SF kit I think, which I would have preferred to use as it means you can run the servo over on the left as he has. I've gone for an internal pedal box which I now regret (mainly because it is an OBP one and is absolute rubbish). Allspeed do an internal pedal box conversion too though.
I imagine this setup will be around 130-140 at the wheels, don't know what mine is, but the Jenvey SF bodies are supposedly good for around 160-165bhp at the flywheel with the standard internals and no head port work on the C16XE.... I don't really know what gearbox losses to expect with the Vauxhall gearboxes either to be honest. Either way, the 1.6 16V setup is a great little conversion and it's fairly easy to squeeze it under a standard round nose.
Its an Mpi rad but i'm not too sure how its gonna cope but the space is somewhat limited!! Was thinking of the hythe performance upgraded mpi rad or a special made alloy one (can't afford that at the mo tho
)
