light on the job for me thanks??

I would assume its going into a kit car. Whilst I am no expert this was what I needed to install one in my kit
1) Lowered Sump for better clearance - suppliers are raceline, retroford, Tiger racing, Dunnell
2) Alternator kit - this would be car specific depending on how much space you have and where you can fit it.
3) Water rail - I did not have much clearance at the back of the engine so the water rail was required. you can DIY this.
4) Induction system - Carbs, throtthle bodies, Plenum the choice is really yours (depends on how much you want to spend)
5) ECU - to run the engine
6) Engine mount
This is what I can think of at the moment
By no means a cheap way of doing it:

slightly cheaper:

but a
google image search can also reveal some
options
This is something I will be looking at over the coming months too.

I get the retroford water pump idler pulley, to turn the water pump the correct way. I think it comes as part of the alternator kit,
Also Strontiumdog did a great job on shortened the sump
If its going in an Indy you will probably need to modify oil filter as there is not enough room to clear steering column.
