Getting the engine in place

After the engine assembly the clutch and gearbox went together. This is the result. The gearbox should have had the same colour as the engine but I decided it looked better in aluminium finish so I kept it like that.

I also “dry fitted” the manifold, heat shield, carburettors and air filters to check that all fitted together, it did!

Empty engine bay, just waiting for the engine.

 

So, now it was the “simple” procedure to get the engine in to its right place. I mange after some fiddling and everything fitted well.

The result was good but still all the ancillaries are missing in there before I can fire it up for the first time.
