rb26 nur WITH 4WD SYSTEM IN AN FD SHELL?

[DR SCHNITZEL]

block 70cm long engine fully dressed with twins and inlet is about 70cm also
 
wheel centre front to wheel centre rear is 280cm

[DR SCHNITZEL]

you need another 30cm for rad, fan, ic, in length

[DR SCHNITZEL]

sorry its 70cm long and 70cm wide
 
its going to be deeper as well especially with a 10cm sump extension.

I think rear mounting an engine that size would be better for keeping the handling characteristics of the FD, maybe it would help wih weight distribution in the FD.

Intresting. 2 shafts to rear? So the centre diff and gearbox are in the back?

70cm isnt that bad. I think it would fit quite nicely. But everything "unnessessery" from engine bay shoud be moved to back. Like battery, fan and cooler...

But the heidht of that engine. I have seen Fd with Nissan 4cylinder. That engine is sitting very up in engine bay...

the gearbox is in the front. not sure why there is 2 shafts (i think one engages and disengages the front wheel drive but im just guessing)
