Yeah, sounds like that might be the right decision Mate.

If you're passing by, drop in and lend a hand
yepers--- if 6 is good 12 is better
You hate to lose the lines of this car, and you hate to monkey with a chassis combination that has worked so well, but packaging was designed around an unusual combination. A few more inches today would open it up to a lot more options in the future, and I hate to say it, but if you're going to lengthen it, perhaps setting it up for a V8 would be appropriate at this time.
SOS 1.1?
I think six will work just fine
I've got a 350 here that would almost fit if we ran an electric water pump
And with a short gearbox, G101A, it would work almost as it is
However, I still have to rework the bottom frame tubes to fit the current motor in.
So that involves cutting them and the front cross braces out and remaking them.
Not significantly more work to lengthen to top two at the same time
My Dad is bringing round a proper engine guy tommorow morning to talk to me and see if he's interested in helping out
But we still need a flywheel, starter, twin plate clutch and gearbox
And the renevations don't stop for land speed racing
Other than that. the sky opened last night and there was a queue of animals heading up the street to Noah's house
As part of my new garage mahal, although not quite as big as Wayno's, I put 2 x 2000 litre water tanks behind it.
The lovely Corinne left the tap on during the week, not her fault as I was pouring the homebrew, and we now know how long they take to empty
They were still empty yesterday morning. They're full today
And the 8 cubic meters of soil is thankfully still where I put it
