That's some very impressive numbers, plenty of potential then

One engineering issue to sort out might be exactly how the builder mounts the transmission as it doesn't have a typical cross-mount like a Corolla... but this isn't a huge issue.

AH, missed that bit in that case, fill your boots hah.
If he managed it without the Power Plant Frame (PPF), he'd be happy. It was the biggest annoyance I had with the car whenever I need to do any Diff work.
