The 2 bars I added a propper wedged in and tacked. Do you think I can remove the cross bracing?

OOO i see, the engine being mounted further back then.

Well you'll have the gear box and bell housing connecting to the torque tube going to the rear axle, and it wont be a small job putting that lot the wrong way down a nova!Originally Posted by bmw156

Cheers for the comments.
Engine sits quite far back. Should sit pretty much halfway between the turrets (if they were still there).
Reason for just cutting the hole floor is I decided it would just be so much neater & easier. The nova tunnel isn't straight where it meets the floor. Now I can just get some sheet rolled and make a nice looking tunnel. I can then get some sheet and press in ribs for the footwells. The bulkhead will be much further back too. Basically right were the feet of the cage will be. That way I won't need to fabricate a bell mouth. I may also mount the seat even further back now that I have no restrictions.

Gonna put engine, tube & box into place to get an idea of things. After that it will be to get the plates lazer for the bellhousing to tube.
