It is angled forward to gain water pump clearance and to clear the tie rod but it may not need to be that far. Everything does line up quite well at the moment but we shal see how it sits when I get round to doing the mounts. Looking forward to the test fit, I brought the pipe bender down to try some other frame ideas out . Going to make a second frame for my domino ht after this one is finished!

Mines pretty much upright and I got no clearance issues

Iv had to level the engine out as I wasn't getting gear linkage clearance under the frame.

Engine went in for a trail fit at the weekend.  Thankfully i was able to get it in, unfortunately i have to move the engine forward a bit to stop the diff housing hitting the steering rack.... Also have to remove material near the pot joint since the engine cant go as far back as i wanted!

 

 

Not too keen on the type of engine mounts but they work.  This frame will do for the van but the next frame will be tubular and use my own poly mounts. 

 

 

The gearbox mount isnt off center, only put one bolt in to hold it on and its sitting funny.  All mounts are tacked on thankfully so i can move it all forward.
