engine bay size?

[Rik178m]

Is a 4cylinder engine bay the same size as a 6 cylinder? If theyre not will a 3.5 still fit in the 4 cylinder?

[buster]

Well, as people put 2.5 engines where 1.8 engines were, and other people put 3.5 engines where 2.5 engines were, then I'd say Yes!

Go down to your local shoe shop get a shoe horn and slide it in. Hence the term shoe horn it in!!

A very big hammer and stihl cutter helps the fitting of the 5L v12. but it does fit. but get a decent shell first, my last 2 projects died because of rotten shells, so if anyones got a un rotten shell let me know. cosmetics dont matter cus its only for quarter miling initially. then the road if it handles,
