as for what engine it is you'll have to wait :lol:

but clues are :D

gonna be tight but it sits very low :!: well thats the plan :D not saying there will be no chopping but theres a lot more room than you 1st think :D i 1st thought no chance but the more i measure the more i think it'll go in :idea: i'd almost say it'd definatly go in without a rad ............. but i do need one of them :lol:
