Hello everyone,
I'm new here and my interest in HB Vivas is pretty new, too. I saw a pic in PPC magazine in an article about LSD's of a white HB Viva smoking it's rear tyres - very cool. Looks like a mini-muscle car.
I was wondering if anyone had any idea what the dimension of the engine bay are? I'm wondering about alternative engine possibilities and would like to know what the length (between the bulkhead and front minus the radiator for the time being) and width (between inner wings) are. Any help much appreciated.
The dimensions are important simply because I don't like the idea of cutting bits of bulkhead out - if I'm going to put a foriegn engine in a car I'd much rather it went straight in and was installed in a way that could be reversed.
Cheers in advance.

Size's, aprox 28" between chassis rails, and aprox 28" from bulkhead to front, without the radiator. Any more let me know.

Fantastic! Exactly what I wanted to know and bigger than I'd thought, too.
Thanks very much for that. Appreacite it loads!
