I most likely will go back to the shop that made me the hydraulic line and see if they can make me flexible oil cooler lines too so that I don't have to remove them every time I unbolt the motor mounts.
I removed almost the entire radiator support and welded in some new bracing and brackets so the radiator would fit. I had to push it ~4" forward. The oil cooler will fit behind the grill to but the lines will have to loop around the grill.
I wish I could test the clutch but I don't have the final flywheel adapter so I can't put it in. When I had everything aparI, I put the flywheel, pressure plate, and slave cylinder in the bell housing with the adapter bolted on and it looked good. When the flywheel was at the point where it'll be when attached to the engine the slave cylinder was almost fully depressed and so it should be able to release without any problems. I also can shift the flywheel relatively easily by modifying the flywheel adapter and not change the position of the engine. I probably won't be able to get my buddy who's made the adapter parts to make the flywheel adapter until i make him a turbo header for his MG Midge. Yes you read that right, a turbocharged Midget.
