Converting over to the 3.6 V-ram presents new obstacles in covering over the high point of this engine. This customer had drawn up several solutions, and decided on the single hump.
Kind of like one of the 2 humps on the Carrera gt. The shape will continue into the mesh area of the grill, with the actual mesh shaped to match. New technique: Form follows horsepower. Marty |

0396, utilizing an aftermarket mount I could modify it to drop the engine another 1". Not enough to lose much ground clearance. The rest of the clearance could be with Sir Andy's technique, I think he said that all of the v-ram actuation remains operational.
