Jeff and I got some time to work on the Lola after cleaning up after the Enduro. We put the motor in and it is going to be permanent except for the spacers there made from washers. I'll replace that with a spacer I'll turn down on the lathe.
The engine fits really nicely, and with this motor plate style adapter it is a nice setup compared to the standard motor mount and tranny mount. Once together it'll have two 3/4" bolts from the chassis into the motor plate/transaxle adapter, two 5/8" bolts from the top cross bar to the motor plate, and the two engine mounts. I bought some good engine mounts that Al had posted some months ago to replace my $11 cheapies from the local parts store.
I understand the carb is on the way shortly, so things are coming together. I've got more progress on the other end of the car too and will post that once it gets all nailed down, right now it is a mess! In the pictures you can see where the 016 needs to be clearanced on the bottom to fit low in the chassis, and see how the pan is flush with the bottom of chassis (Canton Road Race Pan).
And Jac Mac, notice the new pulley there!
