So yesterday I got the engine out of the focus
Took quite a while to do but it is out and I made up a roller platform for it as well so I can push it around etc :
Then today (saturday(ish)) I decided I was going to look and see if I can get the engine and standard gearbox in the chassis...
I literally spent all day trying to do it and although the engine and box do fit it is going to be a pain to do and also there was almost no space for exhaust manifolds and what not...
So I have to admit defeat and fit the Endura gearbox... I still have a fair bit of fabricating to do to get it in the chassis but that but is fun
I do have one small problem with KA gear box and that is that it is rod change... I don't want rod change so I am looking at converting that to cable change....
Looking at my Buggy build I used this form Mike Satur
so I think this may be an option to go down which will make my life a lot easier if I can get cable change to work
I also need to find a flywheel and clutch for a 1.8 focus to fit the new gearbox
SO although I did not get anywhere today I fell like I achieved a lot
