Im thinking of cutting out these humps and filling them in with steel plate, if I cut this it will allow another inch/half the engine can move back. Has anyone cut out fire wall sectins before? Any tips would be great, im a little affraid it may weaken the car.

Awesome project!
I cannot believe the work you have put into it already.

I would be more worried about cutting the chassis than cutting the firewall.

As long as you fill the gaps I cannot see any issues. Allot of rodders move or make the firewall straight.

I coudlnt see a problem witht he firewall cut bart.
I think the main thing is that it's a solid wall with no excess holes incase of engine bay fire!

Great stuff man

Thanks guys for the replies, i might give Rod Andrews a call or go over there if i get a chance tomorrow and ask him on the fire wall, while im there ill buy some steel plate/sheet to fill the holes in the fire wall anyway.
The only thing that concerns me is if the engineerwill approve it, he's at the moment holidaying OS lol.

RIM-010, its ok the engines look similar in that position. :spoton:

Howdy Bart..
just a thought, if you wanted to be a little sneeky.What you could do is cut out the 2 humps in the firewall and reverse them to opposite sides so they now bulge inwards to the cabin instead of outwards. You would be surprised how many people won't notice the difference.Whereas if you go to a fabbed flat firewall everyone will notice it(cops/engineers) etc....

Cheers Greg..

Hey Bart, was the name of that engineer Sanjay something, from knox? I have been trying some engineers lately, the only guys that seemed half interested in my project was that Sanjay and a guy from Eltham, Bill Malkoutzis (Talk Torque Automotive, 48 Hillcrest rd, 94392334). Maybe give him a try if you want. Seemed like a nice guy, pretty helpfull!

Ive been dealing with John from Consulmotive, nice bloke, knows his stuff and he'll point any one in the right direction. Hope this can help.

Cheers

John is ok, id say is one of the more strict engineers but that is a good thing as he will point out what is wrong if anything.
