Capri progress today. Help please Team Blitz!!!!

Today I did a bit of triangulation welding and tried to put the engine in.


Triangulation;

After looking at these pictures, what I've put on seems a bit wimpish, but I'm not altering it.






Engine

The first thing I learnt was that I'd put the engine mounts on the wrong way around, the second was that sump was to big and fouled the steering rack, and the third was that the oil pickup did the same.


This is the engine sort of in, with the mounts on the right way around, and the sump and strainer removed;




The forth thing I learnt never buy anything off ebay, and all Welshmen are scum. This is my sump gasket, made of silicone and an earth wire.



I take it the sbf are suppose to have a proper rubber gasket?


The fifth thing I learnt was that the crank pulley is very close to / fouls the front crossmember.







Is this normal Norm, or do I need to do some cutting?

The oil pump minus strainer;





Other engine underside picks;








aaaaaarrrrrrrggggghhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
