Today it has been in and out with the engine/gearbox day Testfitting and moved the engine 4 cm back, this was only because I am fitting a very big/thick cooler.
Had to massage the firewall because of the distributor was a thight fit.
And the 5 speed gearbox had to get some room also so a bit of cutting in the box section over it and had to take up a new hole for the gearstick about 48 cm rearwards
