I plan to install my engine this weekend but dont yet have my bodywork. I will probably use equinox but this is not for sure yet. I guess there is a level of variance between manufacturers but could someone tell me what the dimension is on your cars from the top rail either side of the engine bay to the underside of the bonnet. That way i can ensure that my engine fits in. How much clearance should you leave between teh top of teh engine and the bonnet?

What chassis and engine is it? I can measure my MK Indy tonight if no one comes up with any measurements.
