Well i'm mad.... official.
Have successfully managed to drop a v6 Jag engine and gearbox into the MK indy chassis and got all the engine and gearbox mounts made. Next bit is to figure where to put the twin exhausts, currently each down pipe is sitting infront of the foot wells and will be kicked out to the side and then along runnig 3 cyclinders into each exhaust.... Then its brakes, wiring and tryign to get the bonnet back on.

Looks like great work, but isn't that exhaust going to be too low?

Not in over 1000miles over some very rough roads. The gearbox bell housing has the same ground clearance

You think your mad? Shoehorning a rover v8 into my Jago but trying to keep it looking stock!

This is how much room you have in a Luego Viento chassis, plan is to run LH exhaust in front of engine to join up with RH exhaust and single silencer

It's a bit tighter in the MK chassis

That’s a lot of engine to stick in there

So I’ve got an St220 lump that will run Oem injection.

So what are my rwd options. What’s the jag ratios like in the real world ? What fly’ and clutch.

Cheers
