i read on nico the vh41 would of been easyer because it has a top mount alternator. Some guy in austrailia is swapping that motor and converted it to a vh41 style alternator setup.

I'm kind of confused. Looking at the picture, I think I can see the "V" shape of the engine mounted properly for a rear-wheel-drive car, but the exhaust manifold appears to be mounted transfersely as if for a front-wheel-drive car?? Or is that manifold just sitting on top for no reason?

Is this motor a direct bolt or did you have to modify anything to make it fit? By the way that set up is Nice!!!!

the manifold is just weird. thats how it came. you do have to make custom parts to fit does not drop in. mounts. manifolds. firewall. and frame rail. not sure how much power it puts down i will dyno it in the near future before i tear it down.
