Google is not delivering consistent info on the LFX and really zero info on the MV5 aka Aisan AY6.
Hoping someone on here has access to a motor and trans to take some measurements. Isn't the GRM crew swapping this combo into a Miata as we speak? I'm investigating this swap for a different chassis - copying basic elements of the V8 roadster kit.
For the LFX motor looking for:
Overall length from front accessory belt to rear of motor
Length from front of oil pan sump to front accessory belt
Length from front of sump to rear trans mating surface
Distance the High pressure fuel pump protrudes past the back of the engine trans mating surface
Overall height from bottom of oil pan to top of intake manifold
Height from bottom of oil pan to center of the crankshaft
Height from center of crank to top of the intake manifold
For the MV5 trans, hoping to get:
First off an understanding of what's going on with the shifter linkage. I think the v8 roadster kit replaces this with a much shorter linkage and shift tower that sits roughly above but slightly forward of the tail shaft flange?
Length from front edge of bell housing to tail shaft output flange
Front of bell to shift control lever on trans (without the shifter extension)
Diameter of bell housing - or how wide it is at the top/widest point Looks like it flares out at the top.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
