More progress.....Decided to go with the blackbird engine as its a better fit to the front of the car and has about 35 bhp more with much more torque and more suitable gearing although it is about 25kg's heavier.
The engine needs to be moved back by 100mm and up by about 40mm and to the O/S by about 80 mm for ground clearance, prop alignment and exhaust manifold clearance.
The subframe you see in the pictures is merely a support frame to see what i needed to cut out, the proper one will be done once i have the motor in its final resting place with this crud.
The gearbox (Reverse & overdrive) will require a large transmission tunnel throughout the car approx 10" high at the centre raising towards the front of the car for prop clearance and dropping towards the rear of the car to try and retain a rear seat area.
I am in need of a propshaft or propshaft yoke to fit the ford type E gearbox if anyone has one.
