WOW...that is Awesome.
Should snuggly fit, though you might want to go with the RS motor mounts.

So, if you get a CEL, do you send a chimney sweep in?

Made me dizzy to look at it! The NUCLEAR SUBMARINE I used to drive had less power and torque! Amazing piece of engineering.

Personally, I'd like to see the machine tool used to grind the crankshaft, finish the rods, and other operations required to make an engine.

You'll need to make sure you're running TT rims on the rear for clearance... but it should fit
