Hi, I'm thinking of a Sonic as my next project and have an interesting engine to contemplate fitting - a FWD quad cam alloy V8 
Hence I'm wondering if anyone has a few photos of an assembled but bare of bodywork (or engine) rear end?
In particular a plan view would be helpful, plus some basic dimensions of things that matter like drive-line centre-line from front (or rear) of engine bay. My existing engine/trans assembly is about 900* 900, bigger by a bit that the existing bay but it's only really the rear V bank that might cause problems. The left and right mounts are upwards to the chassis rails (on the original car) and the front/rear are downwards onto the subframe, which was bolted up onto the chassis rails. It makes 300/300 as standard :-)
Thanks
Gareth
