There is only 1/2" between the starter body and the chassis, then an engine mount, then an oil filter, then a radiator...... Absolutely no way to get the pipes in, so went out the rear corner of the inner wing. My problem was then solved, and a managed to get a proper manifold setup in too.
Stick with it mate, you will have all the same problems with the V8, only you will be starting again from scratch, will have a much much heavier lump, a hole in your wallet etc etc......
Cheers and keep the Faith !

I used the clutch and brake pedal mounts but moved them over 1" and put a kink in the brake pedal
Anything is possible the challenge is to find a solution and not let it beat you.
I will try and find some pics of how i got around mine i had the same problem.

Would you be better fitting in a smaller mount with a slave cylinder on and a remote servo.are you moving the seats and steering coloum back, i did and it gave me a little more room for pedals.
