It looks tight JP but if you close the bonnet carefully, I think you can get it latched

yes it needs re-engineneered (sure that is not proper)
move motor back as mentioned, and drop down then custom intake and exhaust. move battery to rear, rig up a radiator, cut up transmision tunnel. then spend 5k to get the 2300 to put out some real horsepower. then a different rear end.
or transplant a b210 A15 with 5 speed and be done.
started this same project 10 years ago. Had all the parts gathered and dropped the 2300 in there and had a moment !! the next day I took it all to wrap metal yard. figured I would save myself a lot of money and wasted youth
