Thanks guys! Yeah, I'm shaving my antenna too, as well as the hole for the rear wiper. 

 

Yeah a slick top VH is the way to go! My buddy is going with a VH swap in his slicky. I absolutely love the VH platform and I intend to do a lot of testing/documentation with this engine.

The intake will not clear the hood unfortunately, The only way it will clear the hood is with a spaced sub-frame I believe. Definitely a no-no in my book! lol Just my opinion. No AC or powersteering. I may add power steering in the future... in the form of a Opel Astra electric pump.

Very cool,  Will all this fit in a Z32 2+2?  I'm loving those bumpers wings and skirts.  I'll have to check out the website n see if you've got pricing up yet. 

 

A couple Q's: On that oil pan, I guess it'll have to be installed only with the motor out since those rear bolts will be about impossible to reach otherwise, right?  Not that anythink in the Z32 engine compartment is easy to get to.

How well does the VH fit front to back? Won't it hit the radiator?

Yes, it will fit the 2+2. Thanks! It really has exceeded my expectations i had from my imagination! I'm slowly getting everything uploaded onto the website. The oil pan isn't listed yet.

 

It's a tight fit, You need to install the oil pan with the engine out, install the engine in the car and then bolt the transmission from under the car. The oil pan will not clear the sub-frame when installing if the transmission is attached. I rotated the transmission mount 180 degrees to move the transmission and engine towards the fire wall by about an inch. You can still use the OEM driveshaft. You will have to shorten the shifter linkage. With the engine being pulled back 1" it is centered over the front subframe. There is plenty of room for the radiator. I am relocating the radiator to keep everything hidden, and for room when I go turbo'ed.

This is about as far as I will go with the intake until I get the engine in the car. Time to get busy with body work!

Engine bay almost ready for primer... This man is the best auto body specialist I know, watching him work is like watching an artist. I cannot wait until he starts on the exterior, that's when the real magic happens!
