Here is pics of my conversion we put the motor in the first time today. There is way more room on this compared to the 4efe i did last year(03). Next is the front and rear engine mounts and front mounting the alternator.

Brilliant Job there and should be a great engine. I'm amazed by how compact it is...Well done. Nice frame too...

a Mate of mine at a wrecker owed me a favour so this motor and box + all running bits cost me nothing :D :D :D

and the smaller capacity motor so far has been easy to fit

Excellent work!!!

Glad to see something a bit different put into a mini.

Good luck with the rest of the conversion :wink:

Cheers,
Andrew

It appears the larger capacity engine has the exact same dimensions as the smaller one. According to the chart.

Impressive. Looks like there is limited amount of subframe work required for this conversion compared to other conversions.

Keep up the great work.
