It should be like 10" off the ground. If it’s too close I will build a cage to surround it. I cannot mount it any higher unless I raise the fuel cell. It’s at roughly the same height as the differential. ---

UGH! Tell the car that you need to have no more surprises so that it can be up and running! How is the turbo condition? I am going to hurt you if you get the engine back together and post up “Crap! I need a new turblo… there is massive shaft play.” ---
