How far back would the trans have to go to exctly have the shifter stick right through the existing pass-throught?

I'm thinking a combination of moving the engine back and a linkage will be the way to go.

what do you guys think about mechanically hooking up a detachable blender to the front of the engine so that people can make "V8 Juice" while we rev the engine?

Today I cleaned the inside of the fuel tank one more time with acid.  It was really surprising how much more crap came out.

Then I sanded everything back down to raw metal and ground out any deeper rust.

Then I etch primed it.

Tomorrow I will install the tank and square away the front suspension.  If anyone has time, feel free to come lend a hand.  If not I think we planned to meet on Wednesday to work on the brakes and start installing the engine and trans.

If you move the engine back that far, how much of it will be hidden by the cowl & inaccessible? It seems like serviceability, especially on race day, may be hindered a bit.

Overall, it looks like a LOT of progress is being made quickly! It looks like you're electrolyzing the fuel pump sender? What do you have it soaking in?

I think we will be able to move it back 6 to 8 inches, I will know better tomorrow.  Since we have the rollcage the chassis is super stiff, I'm thinking we will make part of the tunnel removable for super easy access.

I have it in salt water, I know its making chlorine gas but I'll just open the garage door before I go back in.

This is finally what things looked like.

Here's how the sending unit looked when I just pulled it out.  Anything that looks like rust fell right off with a light brushing.
