That's right! I figure when you take out a motor that weighs at much as a big block Chevy and puts out 90hp and replace it with something that makes almost 3 times the power with 50 less cubic inches, and 120 lbs less weight, who cares what side of the pond it was cast on?

I decided to build a shelf behind the seat to mount the PCM, ignition module, and the amps for the stereo, plus I'll be putting a bank of relays on it. Here it is mocked up, I'm going to work on the wiring harness and get everything lengthed/shortened to where it needs to go before I neaten it all up. This eats up a ton of time; looks like I may not make my January engine test run. Hopefully it wont take too much longer.
