It's had to be extended by 3"... I wonder if it would fit into a clubby with not extensions!

Have a look at some of the other pictures on the ebay listing , it looks like a very narrow V and the other bank's rocker cover starts basically under the middle of the induction pipes . It must be a hell of a snug fit though and I'd hate to have to change the plugs or anything like the master cylinder .....

I wouldn't like trying to change the spark plugs then!
Sure looks like it would be fun to drive though :twisted:

At the risk of sounding pesimistic, it seems like a hell of alot of trouble to go to fit that motor only to have it go up in smoke as soon as you touch the throttle. Surely a guy capable of engineering that sort of thing would be capable of making it awd. Don't get me wrong, i'm not a knocker, I just think it would be incredibly frustrating being told (by your speedo) that you're doing 150kph..... on the spot.

Looks like twin-cam 16v 4 to me. Check the leads in the middle of the head. The old sodium -valved ones from the Astra that became a Daewoo.
