Impressed.
What position are you mounting the engine in...? Have you got the E28 rad in with an electric fan, or have you got enough room fro the viscous...?

I have a rad from a 635 with a air con fan from a 735 mounted in the front.
I have put the engine as far back as I could using the M3 prop.

So you'll be about position 2/3 then...
Might have to use your photos as a semi-template for the 'welder wielding neighbour' I have when I get my project up and running!
Cheers!
