How many times have I said this before: I continue t be astounded by the talents of the people who subscribe to this forum.Great work FatBoy. You've sertainly had a challenge that you've met more than capably. It will all add to the driving pleasure when it gets onto the road. TORQUE: Hey Darcy, you don't need to creat a new post for each picture. If you just hit [Enter] at the end of the code for each pic, the next pic will follow. For example:  [Enter] [Enter] etc. (there are no pics here) This way you can post a few pics into each post. Martin |

Hi, Take a look at streetneat EK van project. http://gallery.oldholden.com/EK-Van-Chop?page=13He's putting a 307 Chev into an EK without recessing the firewall. No FE/FC i know but i would imagine very similar. It might give you a few ideas about engine mounts, rack & pinion steering setup and suspension setup. Cheers, Ben. |

Hi minifcvan.
If using a CRS kit, the Holden V8 will fit, if u grind the lip away on the firewall (minimal firewall mod).
I had this set up in an EK. the trade off is there is next to no radiator clearance on the front end, the water pump snout will nudge the radiator under hard braking.
I now have recessed my firewall for greater clearance, and set the motor back as well.
it is still very hard to get to the distributor locking bolt, am thinking of making a special spanner for this.
hope this helps
Cheers
Ed
