No thats not my engine. It is in an S1 Esprit but the guy sold it. Trying to find out as much as i can from the old owner. So what sort of system is this at the front as i cannot find any information anywhere. Or has someone made this water pump? Distributor is not the probelm but space when it comes to the water pump as i dont have much room. Space wise is very similar to the setup in the picture so as you can see its very close to the front of the chassis.
Regards

Wayne,
Is it clearance at the crank pulley that's the problem, the most compact standard solution is to use the P6 or modified SD1 crank damper/pulley in combination with the SD1 front cover and P6 water pump which all lines up.
You will need a P6 alternator cradle.
Dont know what the water pump in the picture is but am sure a lot of people would be interested to find out, not sure if that pump will affect the overall depth of the engine though.
I know of a Rover V8 conversion into your model of esprit, a Pink one! and Dave Vale at V8 conversions knows the car well and can supply some of the parts you will need, give him a ring on 01689 858716
