As I seem to have plenty of time on my hands at the moment, when the wife leaves me alone, not what you're thinking lads, old man like me doesn't get up to those sort of things anymore. She makes me tidy the garden & do housework!!!
Anyway I managed to escape to the workshop for a bit of peace & quiet. Thought I might as well see if I can get a K in an A subframe.
So drops the engine into the frame
It doesn't fit by a long way, so first cut.
Then the other side
Then the back
Then some more off each side
In the end it's a lot closer, but still needs to go further back & also lower down, had to take off the alternator & will have to re-bracket that somewhere else or get a smaller one. Also had to take off the oil filter, will have to use a remote one, but all in all it's not going to be as easy as I first thought, it is only a small frame it has to fit into.
