is it jsut a case of cuting it out and getting taht one in then abit of seam welding or is there anything else? once this is done does the MG enine drop strait in? as i have no other car, once the engine is finished i carnt go longer then a week with no car, theres no rush to build the engine, also i might have to run it non-turbo as my dad might go abit mad... as im only 18, also gettign the power to the ground 12" on falkons enough or am i gona need bigger wheels? |

As that pic is there, what's the idea of the spacer bolted between the subframe and firewall? is it intended to stiffen the panel to stop steering rack movement? or to anchor the subframe better? On 28th Aug, 2011 Kean said:

it's to stiffen the front subframe, or thats why I did it anyway. On 15th May, 2009 TurboDave said:

I put the bar there to stiffen the shell to compensate for the section of bulkhead cut out.
