my project is a mk1 that I am building into a club/targa/general competition car.Rear is hilux diff,5 link with turreted billies and discs.Front has adjustable billies,capri discs and 4pots.I have gone with the toyota 3sge beams black top,variable on both cams,stock its good for 210hp and has a 6 speed g/box.The motor and box are in the car for first fit, getting mounts sorted etc,so far no problems,it just fell straight in.Sump is in front of the crossmember which is going to need a serious sump guard.its a very tall motor and I,ve set the steering rack to have two positions so I can lower it if necessary.The bonnet is f/glass and without the standard bracing the ehgine fits without changing the bonnet profile.Hopefully there are photos to go with this,more to follow.

Hi, hoping to do same but in a Mk2. Any advise/ help would be gratefully received. An update on your project i would love to see , especially the steering rack, Did you build the bump steer out? best regards Brian

And only a smidge off centre to get inlet manifold clearance? Looks the part, one of the best NA motors out there

This might help with your clearance issues.. its a ITB adapter..
