Ooh ooh ooh!
Um. Is the engine supposed to be able to fit in that front suspension box?
small crossbar at rear is probably just to hold alignment, then removed

They're boring a hole through the block to pin the engine. It's the be all end all solution to crappy 240 engine mounts.
Do you have lateral G goals are you just building with that in mind?These tubes (along with the floor rails) represent the rearmost part of the frame. Any structure behind that will be purely to support the original sheet metal outer skin. There will be quite a bit of cosmetic overhang, both on the front and rear end of the car.

WOULD YOU JUST START WIRING STUFF ALREADY?
The above statement is made in jest, but there is all kinds of fabrication porn all over the internet with this current "pie cut all of the things" fad. The wiring that you guys do is really where I've been getting my automotive rocks off for the last year or so. Butchka builds are 100% pure, concentrated inspiration.
"Will it drift?"Do you have lateral G goals are you just building with that in mind?
Yes!
Really like the triangulation of the front end, looks miles and miles better than what i usually see. Excellent, this is perfect.
Awesome project. Cool engine choice too. My xc90 hauls some ass for a 4500 lb SUV. It sounds amazing and has gobs of power pretty much everywhere in the powerband.
Can't wait to see what it can do in a 240.

I get the impression that a significantly lightened 242 with this engine is going to SCREAM.
