Thanks for the comments Dan and Jim.
I was awake last night thinking about whether it was just a wild, stupid idea to install from underneath. Now I'm thinking that it is not only do-able, but in my particular case, a no-brainer to seriously contemplate going that way.
I had already done some rough measurements a couple of days ago, prompting my comment yesterday.
So....went out this morning for more accurate measurements:
- Widest point on the engine is at the edges of the rocker covers….465mm (18.3”)
- Available space at engine mount pads….540mm (21.26”) with mounts removed (shown fitted in pic.)
- Available space at forward end of chassis/engine area (refer pic.)….515mm (20.27”)
....and here's the pic. of the empty engine bay:
Thoughts?
Cheers,
Glen
