That may not be a bad option Ian. At that price what have I to lose really. I was out tonight sizing things up and I do have space to fit the two SPAL 10" or even 12" cape and corner but not side by side (Good use of 10" dining places if you ask me).
But I probably only have a max 70mm to the water pump etc. Now I can save some space there but I also don't have the engine in its final position. Its OK front to back but I need to raise the transmission meaning the alternator and PS pump pullies will come a fraction closer to the radiator. Think I'll still get away with 2.5" but it will be close.
