To counterbalance the behemouth engine or hold enough fuel to run it

my fuel tank is only a little smaller in size than that. 9 gallon mine is i think?

what sort of chassis re-inforcemnets have you had to make to allow for the engine to be fitted, i would guess that the engine has quite a bit of torque, r u not worried about it twisting the chassis?

That has got to be the largest engine I've ever seen crammed into a seven. Surely that's never gonna run. Looks like you've run out of space already for stuff like battery, steering column etc

There is enough for the steering column (just ) and there should be enough room for the battery on the passenger side footwell. I will need a small one but if it doesnt fit il make a tray and put it in the rear (help more with weight distribution)
