Just started mocking up an engine cradle for my zx12. Does anyone have an idea of what angle the engine should slope at?

Or do I just aim to get the base of the sump level.

First ever post in the BEC section.

Hello paul just get the sump level as spot on as you can. see you got the right engine good choice lots of power are you modding the sump? if so Martin keenan is Good at it or if funds are good lol nova engineering sump is very very good I have 1 on mine the sump below was done by martin

Yes plan to fit a modded sump but due to funds that will have to wait till next year. Have had a good look at the Nova sump and it looks like a good option.

Hope to get started on the chassis next month one I have finished some jobs on the house.

im in the same boat lol. im doing lots of work on my house but its now looking very good after 5 months work at last getting there i also start work on my imp Tuesday need to make a false floor omg more cutting hehe

about 30 degrees from vertical i reckon. engines work when front wheels in the air so aint got to be exact.
