Had some trouble trying to see your links, but I'm not great at cut/paste. See if you can link directly so we can just click on it. I know it's all smoke and mirrors to me. WELCOME!

That is an interesting project you have there. Obviously no room for a mechanical fan. Are you planning a custom rad / elec. fan combination ?. I'm not at all familiar with Jag running gear. How do bell housing and trans fit on original tunnel ? What about exhaust clearance and steering gear ? *G*
I will follow your progress with interest.

I hope to get this into a roller on its new suspension by the new year, then I can fit the engine and trans (which are ready to go in) and work on the fixtures and fittings maybe even some body work!
