The EFI manifold extends 2"-3" above the cam cover. I have mounted the
engine as low down and as far back as possible and the bonnet clears the
front of the engine by about 1". A custom oil pan will extend about 1 1/2 "
below the frame rails and will need a skid plate. Stock oil pan extends
about 3 1/2" below the frame rails.
Like I said, not a good choice.

Sounds like it would do well in a Morris Minor though. They have a bit more
ground clearance and a taller bonnet. I had thoughts of buying a Samuri or
Tracker to power one of the Minors I bought from Fisher Jones. I think a 4WD
four-door Minor would be a cool car to leave at my place in PA to get around in
the snow.

rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally
worn out, and loudly proclaiming -- WOW-- What a Ride!"
