Air filter is lower than the fuel rail, I've turned it through 180 degrees for IVA then I'll turn it back forward and make a cutout in the
bonnet so I can route it to a duct in the nose cone.
Easiest way to think of the engine is like a v-6 as its cylinder bank slopes at 20 deg, the trumpets curve downwards into the airbox which fits in a
treat. As with all high power N/A engines you can't just ditch the airbox so it was a relief that it managed to fit.
The bits sticking up are cleco's which are a type of temporary rivet so you can remove panels.
The engine's got to move towards the bulkhead by about another 10ish mm. The sump is a m3 evo one, which was developed on the 3.0 race cars as
they had oil starvation problems on us banked circuits, this was the race solution which became standard on the 3.2 evo's, I've not
chopped about as its a race spec sump as standard with built in windage tray and twin pickup's.

I've not got the wiring loom on it at the minute, that'll make most bays look simple add onto that water and oil lines plus steering
and exhaust.... getting a headache thinking about it. I reckon a v10 m5 would go in but they're just too heavy and powerful, this is a nice
simple straight 6.

Will your steering rack fit in?
That looks a treat.

They're Clecko's very useful things when fitting panels. Basically a temporary rivet.

The pedant in me can't resist. 
It will be rather slower than an M3. It will however accelerate and decelerate more rapidly.
There, I feel better now
