You causing trouble again Dave?
Anyway, after doing research the 3.5 BMW I've got lined up weighs around the same as a Pinto according to your value...
Gonna find another site to check my value...
Cheese.

'fraid so Rich
The pinto weight is accurate, as we hauled one out of a Fraud Corblimey and dropped it some scales.
I'll have a look around to if you like, for a bit of independant adjudication

Yep, rough measurement front to back while still in situe... 30"
Long I'm sure you'll all agree.
Good job we're daft enough to attempt a chassis redesign....

That's on the right as you look from the front into the engine bay.
That adds to the width a fair bit....
Also the height with the bit labelled as 2.

How about binning the injection and fitting throttle bodies? Or even crabs?

In a word, no.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Besides, I like injection.
