It's awesome having you on the thread kb58 I have read your Kimini book a couple of times and it has given me a lot of inspiration. I have no doubt starting from scratch would be easier.
Well i was recommend notch the bottom rail to allow the engine to be move more to the left allowing the output to be closer to the center still not a fan of notching the rail but it sure does make it make it more simple to attach stuff.
The current position of the rack is now limited by the shifter location. Another positive of the notch is now being able to include the dry sump tank.
