3.7 litre ford cyclone into mrk1 capri

Im putting a 3.7 litre ford cyclone engine into my capri and i wanted to start a new thread here as its going to be a huge challenge and i would like to document its progress bit by bit my race car is featured in capri projects atm.
As most of you have not even seen a cyclone v6 in real life they are a very tall engine about 200mm taller than a essex v6. This engine was bought on ebay america about 8 months ago its out of a ford flex and was a east west engine.
Ginetta sports cars are using the same engine and a guy down the gold coast was getting 334hp out of his in standard form his was the 3.5 earlier version.
As you can see from the photos the engine is sitting on the steering rack and popping out of the bonnet.
I have sunk a few grand into it so i will just have to keep going untill i get the mongrel in there.
Gearbox is a t56 and mazfix have made a lovely adaptor plate and starter motor adaptor to get it all fitting right ,the starter is afrom a late model hilux.
When they made the a/plate the main shft wasnt going into the crank so a bearing was pressed into the flywheel and that solved that problem.
My next hurdle will be getting a manifold to fit so the bonnet can close with out touching and having a sump modified to clear the cross-
Here;s a few phpotos so far.member and rack.

Here is the veiw across the tops of the guards.

Putting spaces between the front x member and the body might help with bonnet clearance.

The aftermarket power steering kits sit behind the x member.
You might have to mid mount the engine and rose joint the steering shaft.

The car has been down at mazfix this week for the engine mounts and sump to be modified to get this bugger into the engine bay and im happy with all there work its been a big job just to make it all fit. I have purchased a set of jenvey cross- over throttle bodies to fix the clearance problems in the engine bay they just fit up into the v6 bonnet bulge, this suckers gunna fit boys im rapped Heres some photos of the engine mounts and i will get some up tomorrow of the sump and water pipes.

Picked up the car today from MAZFIX and was very happy with the sump that they modified to fit the cross member everything is steaming along nicely. Next job will be the custom extracts and side pipes its getting close to christmas now so dont expect any fireworks for the next month at least .
