Looks a good build tho I like the red body and matching engine

Have you made your own mounts for the motor? What we did was set the motor over into the engine bay, and place bits of aluminum flat stock between the oil pan and steering rack to get the clearance and spacing we needed. From there it was just leveling and measuring and making some pretty basic solid mounts to get it fastened. Also thanks for the compliments!

Yeah I made my own but I have changed them 3 times I have now built a second set that use a custom mount between the front cross member and stock ls400 lexus mount swaped left to right and vice versa just to play with the height.

I'm don't know what bell housing/box you used but I have the R154 with 1uz bell housing which is causing the problem. when the engine+box is in the bell housing is rather hitting the tunnel or when you lower the engine the bottom of the block sits on the steering rack. In the uk it breaks the motorsport rules to cut the firewall/tunnel so I'm a little stuck with it atm. is your car a LHD SR20 s14?

Well I'm in the US so our cars came with the ka24de instead of the sr but yes the car is LHD. The transmission tunnel has been beat in some previously from a ls1 fitted in. The adapter plate I'm using utilizes the factory Nissan 5spd... Also can't modify firewalls here to comply with most drift series' rules

I wonder if the SR cross member/rack is the same as the KA.

I think Its just going to take a big hammer to the tunnel when I get some free time

yup, crossmembers are the same.
if you can get access to a 7x aircraft rivet gun they are great for bashing tunnels in
