There is a bit of room there. The same as a 4age I would guess. Will get a pic for you now.
i am just thinking once you have the engine supported by the mounts, it will sag, and foul, as this is what people have found in the past, though it would be nice if it didnt.

^^There should be enough room height wise, maybe it might be too wide and hit the back of the sump. But it should clear hieght wise it has about 40-50mm clearance there.
^^This pic was taken on a slight angle, so the X-member actually sits in between the deep part of the sump and the bolts. It has about 20mm clearance there on the closest lower edge.
Going to update my members ride thread now.. Rust FTL.
Did you want any other pics Slydar? I have a few here but can get some if need be.
nah don't need more photos. just seems odd that it doesnt hit, as that is one of the problems you hear of always.
mostly just mentioning for your sake and others who are reading.
the washers under the engine mount nuts atleast do seem pretty high, are sure the stud coming out of the mount is bottomed out in the x member?

it can't go any lower as the 2 claw looking thing come up over the top of the mount on x member
Here is my clearance front & rear
Engine mounts
and water situation - custom radiator = win
no drama's at all
Note: this is with a 16V head
How hard would this engine rev to?
is it only 5500rpm?
and also, is it a hassle to cut into the firwall?
stock internals its safe to rev to 7500. if you flog anything hard enough itll break. if you want peace of mind buy aftermarket rods. its suggested you do to start with but it depends on how often youll be flogging it
