See how it goes, got to get the thing to run yet.
Dropped in a new upper engine mount on the chassis last night, about 10mm difference in height from the old one (obviously had engine weight on it since 1991) engine is sitting spot on now with my *temporary* top engine mount. Bottom fork will line up but just pulls the engine back just that bit too much so the diff housing is close to the subframe. So reckon that will be extended slightly. Engine will sit happy though.
Gear linkage looks to be the next issue, with the engine sat up more it puts the linkage closer to the box itself. So will need to address that but need to swap the selector fork lever over.
