I was wondering if anyone with a red motor could give me the distance from the rear of the tappet cover to the firewall. My mounts seem to be at the rear of the crossmember and still haven't much room at the radiator end. I have sorted out the wiper motor but may have to rethink my mounts for the engine. Any help would be great mine seems to be about 2 3 /4 inches so I could get another 1inch or so. Let me know please
Thanking you

hi i got about 2 1/2 to 3 cm any good to ya

My engine mounts are level with the back of the crossmember and i still have about 2 inches. How much room between your fan and radiator. Thinking I will cut off the mounts and overhang them about 1 inch will still have heaps at firewall and will have more at the front to play with. How far are your mounts over at the rear. Would rather spend plenty of time to get it right than wish later. A/C compressor is OK now just want the motor right
Thanking you

What carb setup are you planning ? If you are going to go with triples you will have major clearance issues if you sit the motor as far back as possible.

Have just been recessing the passenger side of the firewall so its basically flat across. I've got twin stromys or triple SU's so I modifyied it to suit both. Will decide when time comes lucky I work with a bloke who worked on a dyno and specialised in carbys. Room should not be an issue. But thanks for the advice
