More updates...the mighty LSA and MG9 TR6060 are in!
The fitment went reasonably easily although as my particular leveler only had 2 chains (in hindsight, 4 would have been better), the engine was canted to the passenger side. So I had to remove the passenger engine side mount, lower the engine on that side below the chassis mount, bolt up the drivers side mount then raise the motor and pivot off the driver side mount where I could then slide the engine mount into the chassis mount and bolt it to the engine.
Thanks to Russell for his help that day!!
The MG9 transmission requires a few mods to fit the Pace. You need to clearance a few of the ribs on the passenger side to allow for the transmission cooler assembly plumbing.
There also is a bracket on the driver's side which you need to remove (at least I did with my car). You can see where I started cutting in with a hand saw.
And here she is:
Also test-fitted the heater. This is normally where the battery goes, however I'll likely be moving the battery to the boot and put the stereo, mounted vertically in a hidden box (with hinged lid) behind the passenger seat. I'll likely fit 2 speakers in the back firewall between the seats.
The heater will sit level once bolted in and I will be cleaning up the opening too.
Next up is to mount the pedal assembly and DBW unit, mount the fuel tank, assemble the fuel system and fit the radiator.
