 ;D Piccies to follow, but the Supercharged Zetec SE is now safely at home in the kadett  Along with a Type 9 Box as well, and it all fits without cutting the bulkhead ;D Big thanks to Imreallyslowme and his "metal sticking together magic"  still needs a few bits doing......sump mainly  but we are much much closer than we were 2 days ago ;D

Top grammar tips!
Bought = purchased. Brought = relocated
Lose = misplace/opposite of win. Loose = your mum

Boxes ticked! Fits the bill perfectly, congrats, good one. |

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts |

Nice work dude! i think getting it in the car is the biggest mental hurdle, after that its just pluming (it sounds so easy when you say it like that ) I really hope CaRS goes ahead next year, as with cars like this about it will be amazing!!! |

Waheyy!! ;D ;D Nice one Does it sit higher in the engine bay or is it just a taller engine. Taller and wider and crank centreline is higher as its a deep skirted block But feels lighter on the crane with type 9 box than the iron 1200 and diddy box Engine sits behind front axle line too ;D Rather happy I must admit..... First lift in:    And look at the charger outet and start of the new water rails  Nip and tuck to the chassis rails to clear the charger, all boxed in with decent spec 2mm steel....... does help to have a full fab shop on hand ;D  All welded in by IRSM...... the only mods needed in the engine bay   New engine mounts all welded in as well   And finally Tunnel chopped out to clear the type 9 box Will reposition lever hole over the lever and fabricate some infil panels to suit  Cheers Dom |

Excellent work chap, very inspiring Those engine mounts look very substantial. What management are you going to run on it, I remember you saying you were keeping clear of megasquirt? |
