the sums 'could' work (fag packet engineering FTW)
pics will always be needed tho otherwise you'll just get every man and his dog jumping on the 'its not possible, your a liar' bandwagon

1.6 16v's are the way forward!
Difficult takes a day - impossible takes a week!
the honda engine in the one a few years back was fitted and was a video of it driving around his yard. he couldnt get full lock because of the gearbox though, it was deffinetly in there though.
im surprised you lot havnt realised by now to not jump on the band wagon of disbelieving and hating when people state they have built something.
pics comin up soon just loading what i got onto photobucket
not supprised that didn't work its a k20 vtec thats about 2.5 inches longer then the b16b vtec i'm usingStrangest engine ive seen fitted in a nova was a suzuki 1.3 WTF???

this is the first pic this is the engine being offered into place to decide how far to the passenger side it needed/could bo moved
you will of course have noticed the hole in the inner wing this is where the new mount was to be welded in as below
next we had to build up a mount on the drivers side inner wing which would hold the gearbox mount
in the first pic you will see that there is no inlet on the engine and the clever among you will be thinking the bais peddle box would be in the way this was cured easily by using an interior floor mounted bais peddle box which also helps solve the hydraulic clutch problem
as to the extended lower arms and steering rack ends i mentioned earlier in the thread i cant find the pic of the lower arms but will take a new one when i get a min but heres one of the extended rack ends
it was simple to achive just cut the rack add a thread too both the cut ends then make a piece of steel with the same thread in either end but with a 25mm blank section between so that when screwed together again the rack ends would be 25mm longer i also welded them to be sure
