Engine/gearbox for book chassis
Does anybody have any suggestions for what donor I should look at for engine and gearbox? The requirements are
- Should have cat (basicly any post 1989 engine would do)
- Should be in-line
- Should come with siutable gearbox (I'm nog a good (or even average) mechanic so I'm hoping to get a finished package)
- Should fit under the hood of a book chassis (no bumps, holes et.c.)

I'm using a Mazda MX5/Eunos engine. It fits all the criteria you have mentioned but one.
I think I am going to need a bulge in the bonnet to get over the engine. It's about 1" too tall and I have already removed 1" from
the sump (no way to get more out).
See my picture archive.

Hi
The very last 1.6 Sierra's used the cvh engine with efi and a cat, or you could fit a rover K with a chaterham box?
Hope this helps
