XR6T engine measurements

I measured my slant with a turbo off the driver side at 27, 31 long and about 25 tall. If you can get a "rear sump" (longitudinal) pan to nest into the K, you got a chance dropping that beast in there although your like an inch in every direction within fitting it into an early A with a thin radiator. May have to go with a modified K member just to get the motor to sit a little lower as the bottom of a slant is flush with the bottom of the K +- 1/4 inch in my case.
