ZX10r in a Locost
Ayone got any hints on how / where to mount this engine...
Also anyone put this engine in already - what are the pitfalls - sump issues etc.

i have one in a mac#1 chassis and paul fisher has one in an mk chassis
i would say it is no more difficult to intall than any other bike engine.
i have'nt modified my sump and hopefully wont have any clearence issues
if you use a US loom and ecu to wire it up it avoids the immobilizer system.
the main issue is that of gearing as this engine is geared low internally so you will need a 3.38 or lower (number not gearing) axle to give an
acceptable top speed. Mine uses a 3.21 from a freelander .

Cool
I got a US loom and ECU with the engine .. so going to have a look at the manual and start to work out how to fit it all together... goint to try and
get a 3.38diff (going to place a wanted...)
What would be usefull is to get some dimensions off a cradle ...a drawing maybe (please please please) with some arm lengths/ position in chassis
etc...
Do you know if the clutch needs any work... do they recomend sump baffles etc
thanks...

most fit a sump baffle due to the cost of your engine
look at some of the photo archives with any zx10r engines mounted to get an idea
