is this going to be road legal? Doesn't it count as radically modified now?

Any modification of the monocoque/chassis should mean an IVA test. It looks like there has been some work done there :lol:

I'm glad I looked at Waynes link :)
He's not far away and I need a steering rack narrowed for the OTHER MG project ;)

I've passed on his link to my mate with the OTHER MG :)

SO I got down from the loft
LS9 MLS head gaskets

heads
and inlet
but as with anything slightly modified the inlet will need modifying as the Map takeoff at the back hits the mid plate
also need to cut the front plate to allow the manifold to actually connect to the heads, might be useful I spose!ImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImage
I love building cars!!!!

Any reason not to trim the rear plate too ?

Or would it not have been easier just to use regular engine style engine mounts ?
