Graham, well done so far, a very nice side step to the usual copy cat builds, but do you want all that venting on a road car? i have exactly that type of venting on my race car, but its not subtle. with a water cooled road car, why not work towards a diffusor and flat bottom it up to the bumper line? this was a factor in my water cooled engine choice, together with diminishing DB control thresholds at the races, i'm now 3/4 db quieter over aircooled with water cooling alone. you will need to move the lower shock mounts to make a worthwhile flat bottom workable, and the exhaust needs attention with any engine to get it out of the way. Just my view, but i think a road car, or a race car come to that, should be as understated as possible, its easy to get carried away and the KIS rule always applies.
but well done so far anyway.
