Cheers for all the responses.

My uncle is an engineer whom has built race cars / kit cars before so he is aware of the process. My issue is I look like a shmuck if I am not clear on what I want to do before I see him first as he will be critical of why I want to do certain things.

So regarding the engine, the jury is still out on that but at least I can think about it and ask more questions!

Regarding the footwells / seat positioning, I did notice when I sat in a few cars that I had problems with my size 12 shoes and sitting behind the wheel properly but thought that could be fixed by changing pedal positioning and losing weight!

At 6"1 tall I don't want to be squashed in like a sardine so will have to try and check out the Harrison build allowing for Merv's comment (and did notice that on their webpage).

Thanks.
