the pic of the engine seems to be misleading. i bet the bulkhead back about 4-5 inches, and sat the engine back under the wiper housing. the itbs are litraly 5mm from the metal seam, and the heads are under. its as far back as i can put it without cutting into the wiper housing. ill have to get new pics of the engine in place.

Nuts86 Wrote:that engine of yours is mounted fairly far forward, what you want to be careful of is the rear end 'bouncing' while cornering which will happen if too much of the weight is forward of the front wheels. I had this problem with my 1UZ and solved 70% of it by shifting the engine back about 10cm. The back of the rocker covers on mine now sit about 5mm behind where the firewall used to be. Nice build by the way Smile
