While we had a car on the hoist with no gearbox in it I figured it was a good time to check how big a hole needs to be cut to fit this box - measured the engine angle before starting so we know where we are at -

Then finished mounting up the adapter plate to the bellhousing- I had bought a set of centering punches years ago and finally had the chance to use one Image

Just need to drill the engine mount holes now and it’s done Image
Offered it up and the official amount of floor surgery has been confirmed as “lots” so Mick has decided not to proceed- it would be a good swap for a hydro body though Image

Fark that was a lot of work. Would have thought it obvious.
