After a previous trial fit of the engine , I had to re-fabricate the lower engine mounts to give me the right sump to road clearance
Its a westfield sump and at over £200 ( more than I paid for the engine by the way!! ) I want to protect it for as long as possible!!!
I have also checked the engine for height too, and it doesnt foul the bonnet now

I am a bit bothered with all the powdercoat chipping off on the lower chassis rails, I'm thinking of getting some POR15 stuff, what do you reckon??
a few pics for those interested
