Insert Tab 'K' into Slot 'MG'
midget,
The start of the process, courtesy of Wiggle Pin . . . . . . . .
Next step is to ghost in the 'A' series transmission mounting pattern on a different CAD layer. 1/2" thickness is going to be the minimum thickness for the adaptor plate, because of the need to use some metric flat head socket cap screws for the fasteners. Probably want to use 6061T-6 aluminum tooling plate for the adaptor.
Once everything is laid out, a mockup adaptor made out of 1/2" plywood or MDF will allow an "offer up", into the car. Layover angle, or lack thereof, can be assessed at that time. Layover is going to be dictated by space available for various items, injectors/inlet manifold and exhaust headers the most critical. The wood mockup is a cheap and easy way to research alternative layouts if required.
On another positive note, the starter fitment looks like it will be relatively straightforward using the existing bits.

Well, while the
midget is off fulfilling his Rock & Roll Fantasies, I guess I need to get this up and posted for the plethora of humanity wanting to use a Rover 'K' to power their race cars . . . . . . . .
Insert Tab 'K' into Slot 'MG', part deux . . . . .From the concerted efforts of "Wiggle Pin", aka Mike Hart of Deerfield Engineering
Thanks Mike, for all your hard work on this "crime against humanity" . . . . . .
Ya know, this
might actually work . . . . . . .
Hey, yeah you Rock & Roll boy, when can we offer up the alloy lump into that little
green chrysalis you fold yourself into?
