hi jp it certainly is , you can just get it in with a bit of shaving off the rear valance not that you will see as its behind the bumper

I tried offering up a boxa S box on mine (as I had a aftermarket loud one on my boxa Grin

and was surplus) was no way it was gonna fit with my dirty derv Sad

Shame it'll be hidden as looks sweet.. what does it sound like ? or do we have that to look forward to

hi jp its a slow process with one hand but im getting there ,ive still got a fair bit to do yet before we hear it running,ive managed to get loom in and wired up have had some more samco hoses turn up this morning so i will now be concentrating on feeding the hoses through the rear cross member and down the chassis(has to be neat from the off, cant be done with a bodge just to get it goin) will keep you informed and more pics when ive done a bit more Wink

loving the clean shiny engine , i wish i had done mine but i wanted to try it out before i spent hours/weeks cleaning. i think mine will come out in the winter and spend some time in the garage.
i feel sorry for you with the hand, i had a similar expieriance when doing mine, i was half way through my swap and i broke my elbow then i had to wait 8 weeks before i could get under the van again by which time the winter weather had set in.
looking good though
keep up the hard work

You did a good job on that engine.
What did you use to clean up the engine block?
?

hi mate
just used a general de greaser then wire brush in a drill to get rid of stubborn muck then give it a coat of high temp engine paint , the vans up and running now but my computer crashed and its resulted in me losing all the photos of the build so i cant post anymore on there , a bit gutted but thats life i suppose
