Wink Wink! Nice choice of engine there chap
Great looking project, I did try it for size in the 206`s engine bay and thought this could fit! But it was already destined for the TVR

Its running the 2.2 charger with a choice of pulleys from 14-20 psi at 20psi its been dyno`d at 650bhp. I`m using the Tremec TKO600 as it fits into the chassis, will handle 600lbs ft or so they say and multiple position for the gear change, The T56 box i think your using is a big bugger and wouldn`t fit without altering the tunnel. I`ve just got the ecu back this weekend from having the PATS removed so hopefully a start should be on the cards today

Are you extending the colum back to make up for moving the seat back?

Gonna be a nice tight fit down the side of the clutch pedal with that beefy gearbox there ay?

it can not be any worse than mine Dave i think i got to borrow some of LUCA,S plimsolls because my work boots do not fit that well

timbhp

yes have repositioned column but still have adjustable column so got a bit more adjustment if reqd
and moved pedal box back,
the pedals are not that cramped with work boots on still loads of room so all should be good
