Frame meet Engine
I continue to mock up stuff.
looks like this fuel pump will need some angled fittings.
these headers seem a little close
I didn't move the motor mounts but the engine dosent seem to line up with the front cross member cut out.

That's indeed how it's supposed to be, the crossmember has 2 "notches". The wide one on the back (engine side) is offset from the center of the crossmember. The big hole and the small hole in the front face of the crossmember are exactly centered. Look how nicely your pulley sits in the wide notch..it's perfectly positioned.

It's a Biatch for us owners who have the steering wheel on the RHD side.
