It's In, I Swear!

Here are some random pics of the engine and transmission in its final position. I still need to make the transmission support bracket.
























The normal 1.5 - 2 inches of sump hangdown that you get with a Miata engine:











Plenty of room for a nice steering column setup. The gentleman who built this chassis offset the transmission tunnel to the right a tad, to enlarge the driver's area. Good idea for a number of reasons (though it did make positioning the engine/trans take a little more brainpower than it otherwise would have).

Awesome looking build so far, glad all your parts came in one piece. The usual result of shipping Locost bits leaves me thinking our delivery systems are in absolute mayhem (Kieth Tanners busted frame pops into mind). I'll keep an eye on this one!
