It's been done before so I know it well work. The issue on this side of the pond is there's no room for the cats inside the frame.This has been kicking around in my head also... It would be great to get rid of the over chassis part... the heat it puts out being so close to the floor is pretty hot on the feet/leg... as mentioned earlier, the mounting points for the 105 exhaust would be different but I can work around that... maybe. Certainly worth a look and I'm sure I could get a set of manifolds from a wreck to dummy up on the 80. Great food for though... thank you!
Edit. I just checked the 105 part numbers for the Exhaust manifolds and they are the same as the 80 series...
