    i have got more room in the Cortina but i want to keep the engine as far back as possible and if i left it as normal in hits the brake master cylinder.
    If i turn the airbox upside down i gives that bit of extra space and should sit in nicely
    Its nice to see someone has done it and been successful lol Thanks

    What alternator are you using and where is it mounted? I have mine fitted with the retro-ford kit and its to high and I cant fit the air box low enough I have looked at changing the inlet but I cant seem to find anything that would work with the original throttle body

    The alternators can be mounted low left or where the PS pump used to reside - you'll have to fab the brackets but its do-able and below the ex. manifold.

    thanks, looking like putting it lover right under exhaust manifold, that's where it sits now on the Xflow.
