So after getting the gasket set earlier that day, I was motivated to at least do something on the 110. That thing was slapping the Leopard L28 into the engine bay so I could check clearances for the headers. Being they were from a Z, it’s a known issue for them to foul on at least something when they make their way into a C110 chassis. So, in the engine went. Resulting in this;
Wheels Straight
Getting pretty close with everything straight, which didn’t bode well for when the wheels turn to the right, and sure enough…
Rub-a-dub-dub
Having said that, the engine is tilted backwards slightly due to the weight and position of the mounts on the C110. Once it draws level with a 5spd on there, bolted into place, it might only be a gnat’s pube away, I think at the very worst I’ll have to put a minor dent in the collector. No dramas then! It also looks a nice height from underneath;
Transmission level. Stoked.
You’ll also not that the L28 sump sits nicely level with the splash/stone guard/undertray. Sweet. So happy to have found a Leopard L28, so much less pissing around to put it in the Skyline chassis than a Z L28 would be.
