They got it in but, how did they do it... I'm shure i can do it to if they could!
I might have to widen where the rocker covers are to clear the chassi rails or whatever other metal that gets in the way i suppose.

Hmmm, if i asked really pretty. Would you e-mail me some pictures of your build?
I would be much grateful!
Not a problem on the email. I am surprised they shoehorned that motor in. That was damned good work.

There is a woman in Norway that owns a 500E that has supercharged it and is producing real power. I have been threatening to go over there next time I am in England to check it out. With this 190, it might further push me to go.

We will be doing the mating up of drivetrain to car in a couple of months so don't expect to get email quickly. PM me with your email acct info and I will put it on a note.

Also, if you get to the point on the flywheel/clutch issues, the Alabama folks are good enough that I would consider using them and deal with the shipping. They do much NASCAR, IMSA and American LeMans work.

If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don't have to worry about answers.
