Got the car in the workshop for the first time in 2 years. Giving it a clean and a fit of dummy engine to check for clearance with the dry sump drive.

Nice clutch!

Did you manage to fit the block with that crank pulley on it? Guessing you need to make up some new engine mounts to shift the engine across to the passenger side of the car, and will need some odd length drive shafts as well?

I am getting back on it now, work has been getting in the way for the last year or so but the car is in the workshop making room for the dry sump drive and tank and once it warms up a bit I will get on with the engine and gearbox.
