A mate and I got to discussing the room under the engine bays of both an EL XR6 and an EB.
Is the bonnet height the same on both? Does the EL have more clearance? If it does how much more? Cheers Dan

What are you up to?
Easiest way to check is to just put the BA motor in and see if the bonnet closes.  - John |

I cant do that, its a theoretical situation.
I had a bet with a mate that it wouldn't fit, he reckons it would.

oh ok, so we are talking rocker cover to bonnet clearance, at say the back, middle and front, of an ea-ed vs ef/el ?

Yep.
I just need to know how much further if any a BA motor would stick out of the bonnet of an EB compared to say JETXR.

Will try over the weekend, to get a measurement on my EA at least the front for you.

(1) It may have hidden the engine (2) It looks way better than XR front ;)

How bout measuring the height differences between the two I6s, then adding the BA's extra height to the EB donk by means of cardboard layers or similar. (Make sure cardboard is well attached to top of rocker cover)
Shut the bonnet, start car & give some revs, then turn off & pop the bonnet. If the cardboard crushes, you'll have clearance issues
