UE4 Open Beta Body + Variant Issues list

I think part of whats going on is it isn’t obvious that the engine bay arrows only indicate if the engine fits for FWD (or the most restrictive type) by default, even if you selected longitudinal front engine. It looks like the engine bays are way more restrictive than they actually are.

Some former mod bodies do change going vanilla though, usually for the better, but these had the firewall moved forward more than most bodies and lowered to where macphersons stick through the bonnet (they could just be disabled i guess).

70sUSCoupe_Small can only fit an 800cc I4 in mid transverse configuration (I’m expecting it to be able to carry a 2L I4 or similar), and no V-type engine will ever fit into its engine bay:

Meanwhile, the 90sMidCoupeLarge can’t be fitted with anything bigger than a 4.0L V8 longitudinally:

Also, 90sMR_Cor_Coupe can fit big V8s, up to around 5.7L capacity, but no V10s or V12s bigger than 4000cc:

I have writen this a view days ago that some engine bays in most coupes are too small.

A 3000ccm Line 6 is to big for the 1960 Limo.

I think a little finetuning in this area is absolutely nessesary after the LC3 release.

Do you have FWD unchecked when testing this, though?

If you don’t, try again and see where you get.

If you did, then be a bit more specific with the model’s actual name and maybe it’ll get another look

Hope that Helps

Make sure you can’t fit more in transverse, some body layouts are just not that great for longitudinally mounted engines. Always check both directions, especially for mid engined cars.

I re-checked the engine bay size of 70sUSCoupe_Small in mid-engined configuration (both transverse and longitudinal) and it turns out that absolutely nothing fits (except for really tiny inline threes and fours - 800cc to be exact - and even then only when mounted transversely). Front and rear engined is fine, though.

Also, in the open beta, the 10sSuper_Cor_coupe can’t fit any large engines with the mid longitudinal engine placement option selected.

In addition, both sizes of the 90MidCoupe are better suited to transversely mounted engines than longitudinally mounted ones.

Finally, the rear chassis of the 70sUSCoupe (the larger one) will protrude through the rear bumper morph if the latter is pushed too far forward:

I am, however, pleased to report that the larger version of the C7 body (with the longer wheelbase) no longer clips through the chassis if the glued aluminum monocoque is selected.
