DOHC 2 itre engine

Can anyone tell me if this motor will slot in to the 'book' chassis without having to have bonnet bulges on the top. I intend to replace the EFI with twin webers.. Is this a fairly staight forward fit.

Got a feeling it's even taller than the Pinto

Also, bear in mind the MT75 gearbox is different shape to the Type9 too so may be harder to fit in tunnel.

Its a big 'un alright

The DOHC is a bigger engine than the Pinto for sure. That is why Robon Hood Engineering redesigned their 2B chassis to take it.

I am building one of these kits BTW...
