Okay a few questions on this Swap:
One: How well is the tranny going to align with the stock shift port. Your picts make it look like the 6sp tranny is much shorter than the Stock 260/280Z tranny. And what of the drive by wire, are you abandoning all that?
Two: It looks like there'll be quite a lot of space for electric fans and a 3 core aluminum radiator there in the front. Have you thought about going with power steering, maybe a Miata rack. Perhaps move the engine forward a little and use a longer shaft.?
Three: how high does the engine sit in the compartment? I'd hate to have my paint bubbled from too much heat too close to the underside of the hood.
Other than that, it's looking great on all your projects. I'm real tempted to try this swap.
