dropped the gearbox / new bellhousing behind a bare block in to the engine bay, the brake thingy on the passenger strut tower has to be relocated before installing a complete 308

there is plenty of clearance between the bellhousing & firewall. I stuck a vk hei dizzy in to the block easy without having to remove the cap.

massive turtleman style of releaf when the gearbox crossmember lined up with the another set of holes 2-3 inchs closer to engine bay. In this pic you can see the rust marks on the chasis where the xmember used to be.
