Guys, the engine fits under the bonnet fine.. Just the same cant be said for all of the carb and aircleaner... It wouldnt be any worse than a 308 with a Harrop single plane manifold. I am really not concerned with the bits poking out of the bonnet, nor if it will be engineered or not.. (Due to "Stoneage" rego laws we have here in WA) For some reason they wont rego a BBC in a Commodore let alone a turbocharged one!!!! Or even the fact that it has a rollcage in it.. (big no no here).. (The main point is that the car is currently still regoed as a V8) Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
