Photo request: Pinto engine bay
AL20vT - 6/11/07 at 08:35 PM

As in the title, i'm after some photos of completed locost pinto engine bays to get an idea where people locate various components.

Photos from all angles would be appreciated.

I'm about to start the fit over the winter and would appreciate a head start rather than figuring it all out myself.

Cheers,
AL

I will post some stuff soon. My main problem was working around the exhaust manifold, I am using one that exits below the chassis rail and takes up a lot of space on that side. The next problem is the alternator, this was right in the way of the only route for the steering shaft so I put a micra alternator on a new bracket to lift it out the way.

Choose your exhaust manifold early on and try not to commit to bits without checking first if you can avoid it! I also had to change the height of the engine late on to get the gearbox height right and the engine level, that caused problems.

Good luck
