how much ground clearance??
I'm in the middle of installing a zx12 lump in my fisher fury, before I make any more mounts etc, what sort of ground clearance should I be
looking for? At the minute with a shortened sump it'll be about 10cm, is that ok for road/track work?

10cm from the bottom of the sump to the ground is fine. Plenty of people on this list run on less. I run 80-90mm... No major problems (to get it onto
the MOT ramp I need 90 so I just lift the appropriate end of the car then push it forward).

I've got about 90-100mm on my fury. Just had a couple of light scuffs but those were on a very narrow road with a huge camber, big bumps and
flying along. Plan on making a guard at some point.

Just out of interest, can you tell me how high your engine is above the top chassis rail? trying to work out how much room I can lift it still,
another 2cm would be ideal

My pinto currently runs 75mm and I havent hit it on anything, though my suspension is pretty solid.

you're a star
is that 305mm right next to the left hand chassis rail? I've a le-mans bonnet too.
how far back from the bulkhead is your engine? how close to the chassis rail? sorry for all the questions but you can such a help. I get you a beer
at some point.

The standard used by maufacturers is 110mm, so somewhere about there should clear all 'normal' obstacles.

I have about 50mm (stop giggling at the back...) and my sump has lost most of its fins and my exhausts are battered.......
