Enigne size in 70's coupe

I just built a 9.9ltr twin turbo engine, with 4 dcoe carbs and twin cams and put it in the 70s coupe body (ford falcon xb coupe style).
it fitted nicely only stuck out the bonnet a little bit, nothing a bonnet bulge wouldn’t cover.

I then went to make a NA version of the same engine - just removed the turbos and left the rest the same.
Now it won’t let me put it in the car, says its too big.

I needed to reduce it to 8.17ltrs to get it to fit. :frowning:

It would be nice to be allowed extra height with the engines, then use bonnet bulges and scoops to cover them or have a hole cut out to suit.

Yeah that must be a bug as a 9.9L TT engine probably shouldnt fit, especially if its sticking out the bonnet haha.

As regards extra height with the engines, I dont think thats gonna happen. Also an 8.17L engine is huge for a production car, doing this in campaign will probably kill your company. I dont think hole cuts in bonnets are all that common on production cars either?

Just on a side note, wasnt the largest engine in a Falcon xb a 5.8L engine anyway so your doing well already with engine bay size? :stuck_out_tongue:

There used to be a bug where parts of the engine were not taken into account for engine size when turbos were added. I thought this was fixed but perhaps it isnt
