So just curious after watching the powernation episode putting the Ford 2.3 in an 818, how much room is available in the engine bay? I'm sure that inline 4 is much longer than the boxers...

How long of an engine will fit in the 818?

If an inline 4 fit, I'm curious if my spare 3000gt 6g72 might fit. A motor like that would be a significant upgrade from the subie boxers

Can anyone speak on space available?

Frank818 is doing a VR6 into his car. Someone else (canadian 818?) is doing a rotary. They would have good insight. Somewhere I posted pics of measurements for Frank. Maybe in his build thread?
