i am mounting a 2l dohc sierra engine into a gts kit
when i mount it to get the ground clearance the throttlebody and the front of the rocker foul
if i get it so the front doesnt foul the engine is tilting forward slightly
if there is anyone out there who is using this engine can you please help as i need to mount the engine
by the end of next week
i am using the mt75 gearbox also
thanks in advance

Any photos? have you chopped the sump?

Not very constructive, But dump the DOHC and mt75 and get a Pinto and Type 9 gearbox.

agree with calgedard,dump the dohc,its lardy and bigger than a pinto,zetec would be a better option

Where are you at (geographically) rather than build wise!

i can sort out some photos i think
i havent chopped the sump but will be
i live in norfolk only for the next 2 months though
from the build manual from darrens website the dohc will fit i must just be having a brain fart
hopefully if i sleep on it it may come to me in a dream ha ha
thanks for the help
