Mudpup Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Looking to save some time and effort... Car is '87 RX, stock DR5MT. Long term plan is for an EJ20G transplant. How much clearance do y'all have between the cam covers and the "frame horns"? I'm adding some structural reinforcement under the strut towers (bay side), and don't want to take up too much space. http://www.faberit.com.au/rxrally/Pics/RX_Docs/36.jpg Plate "E" is the item in question. Thanks, Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turboturd Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Makes me wanna finish mine. Buying a LGT slowed the progress down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudpup Posted February 13, 2011 Author Share Posted February 13, 2011 Thanks Suberdave! The series of pics on your site with no front body work helped a bit. Do you remember how tight it was around the towers? Could you get your hand down between the valve covers and the body? Thanks again, Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bram_R Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Hi Jason, Here're some pics of my 1986 XT Turbo with EJ20G engine. Luckily today I was planning a compression test and spark plug service, so I had to remove some parts which gave me good view on the clearance between valve covers and frame rails. Hope this will give you some insight. Bram general overview passenger side [ driver side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
