Hi all,
Since the question of 'holden engine in Landy, what are the issues?' comes up a fair bit, I thought it may be useful to post a picture of my S1 engine bay (minus engine) showing some of the various mods usually done to accommodate Holden engines. This formerly housed a 186 Red motor.
Notable areas are the engine mounting points; and the front crossmember, both of which have been moved. You can also see in this particular car, the gearbox cowling has also been changed slightly, as it also had a holden 'box.
Hopefully someone may find this a useful resource in future. Feel free to add any more comments!
PS these pics also show some other mods such as addition of coils etc, but the most common issue/question always seems to be about how much chassis alterations have been made, so I havnt listed every mod out.
