Yes will, best to leave the calipers off too, else the discs will rub
And shove some rolled up cardboard into the diff splines
Id be very careful about welding that mounting if i was you.... visions of dripping rubber spring to mind. for my racer i just welded 2 6mm flat plates on a base and welded it to the chassis leg just in front of the original mounting, not overly pretty but very effective and it allowed the use of the original engine mounting for the k11 to be used. Its critical to get your alignment spot on though, by this i mean drive shaft alignment but also engine height/ tilt. Any error could cause problems with oil starvation under hard cornering/acceleration. Dont just think that the gearbox mount will keep it all in line, it wont.

Not a great picture really but you get the idea of what i did. actually looked alot tidier when it was all finished. That cg10 engine had 207,000 miles on it when i pulled it out of the donor car!!!! still showed 70psi of oil pressure at tickover, dropping to 50psi when red hot after a race, i only put it in for a laugh but it turned out to be a little flyer, screaming its head off quite happily between 7-8k rpm with 1300 cams and very light flywheel. Ran with k10 dizzy/coil with k11 leads. dizzy was modified and a special collar sat in the head to accept it. A very simple but effective way to do away with the injection/ecu wiring

Well, i dont really want to make anything to the chassis, i think the one i did will work just fine, also i have no intrest with using anything from the MA10 except the gearbox (for now) as i hate carburators, this is not going to be a racecar, im trying to build an everyday driver (for summer) with some extra juice, goal is 200hp at the wheels, the CG10 is just a dummy, later it will be a CGA3 with forged internals and turbo.

You got a pic? There is a wire that goes to the starter, I believe it ups's the revs for when cranking?! I didn't connect it and mine starts fine!
