Re: Turns out it’s not the gearbox tunnel!!!?
So I think I’ve found the culprit! All the body measures up perfect so I can only assume the gearbox to too far back by 2 inches!!! Me and a couple pals were scratching our heads so we took the engine mounts off and we decided that if we elongated the gearbox mounts and re fab the engine mounts we c...

Re: lightweight v8 project
So I have no shims under the front of the rear tub it’s tight, I’ve measured the bulkhead to the rear tub and all 3 points measure up the same which is good news. I’m tempted to elongate the holes on the hinge to free some space between the door and the bulkhead. As it stands the door to bulkhead ga...

Re: lightweight v8 project

Re: lightweight v8 project
So not actually sure what that means! To me perhaps the front needs to come up or maybe take a few washers out of the bulkhead bolt

Re: lightweight v8 project
Some solid advice there gentlemen thanks! I’ll get back up to the workshop on Sunday and I’ll post pictures of the results! I’ve ordered a new gearbox tunnel so I’m hoping that helps the situation there! The footwells are replacements, to be honest a lot of the body panels have been which makes me v...
