You can't tell how big that V8 is in the pics so I got the wife to sit on it 
She thinks it's pretty

Hi all not much progress with the car lately so hopefully over the Xmas hols will get some more done ,
have decided to re cut bulkhead and move engine back further to give better weight distribution plus this will allow more room for charge cooler rad and few more bits

Think he means the one you've fitted mate not the one you're selling.

It's being built for the road and track mate. Tim is also very experianced with RWD Escort V8's so to him uping the power to this is only natural lol
He will be able to adjust the BHP by swaping s/c pullies and then use the power where and when it is ever needed.
His diff has been made so he could hit the 200MPH if he so wished.

But now log book back with correct details so all is ok,
so will be updating thread with lots of pics soon
spent some time thinking things through and talking to my people about the prop shaft, and came to a big decision to cut out bulkhead again and move engine a lot further back to shorten prop and make it more balanced on the handling front
thats it for now pics up soon

so got the old plasma cutter out to remove some of the bulkhead
then a bit more
before trying engine and box back in i needed to get rid of clutch cable and fork, so got a tilton hydraulic conversion kit
made up bracket to stop it rotating and shortened nose on box and turned down threaded sleeve , after making measurements to allow the correct clearance for cover and bearing
this is how much i cut of nose
all fitted with hoses connected very nice and compact conversion
thats it for now will put some more pics up soon

pic from front you can see front of engine now in line with struts
in this pic you can see steering is close to alt which is a small 55amp Mitsubishi unit visited local auto electricians and searched his shelves to get the right size and mountings
then needed to find some mount's for engine so found some e type jag mount's one on left std on right uprated comp one
so will use 2 for engine and one for gear box mtg
making gear box mtg practising with tig welder
after fitting engine found i needed to take a small amount of the big wing sump to allow manifolds and collectors to fit between sump and chassis
new plates made and tig welded back in place
after welding up filled up with cleaning fluid to check for any leaks and all was fine so washed out and put baffels
back in
then painted ready for re-fitting
and while the engine was on mts measured up for prop gave dimensions to local company along with mustang
front yoke section, next day had a call to say it was done and balanced
