Hi kev, yes its in and resting on its engine mounts.
As for clearance it currently sits 15mm above the crossmember, the nearside wastegate actuater is 10mm above the chassis rail, and the offside turbo is 5mm away from the inner wing.
The throttle linkage n the rear is touching the heater cover, bt i will remove that so the engine moves back 30mm.
with the lump a bit further back the bonnet will then close as at the moment it shuts to within 20mm

Loads of room!
10m clearance between front pulley and radiator,
6mm clearance between the bulkhead and inlet plenum pipes at the rear.
6mm each side between the turbos and the inner wings
No clearance to underside of bonnet at present
6mm between sump and crossmember
Steering is a chalenge at the moment
