looks like I will have to do like the guy from the Roadspeed garage and remove the battery tray and sides of the transmission tunel opening then box back in and set the engine tranny back further behind the frame crossmember.
I dropped an S52 into my TR6. It fits great but you will need to cut the oil pan a bit as well as a small part of the firewall. And the battery needs to move--the trunk has lots of room for it. The BMW parts also end up being lighter with the weight slightly more centered. Wonderful car mostly but the engine is acting up right now so...standard restomod car.
Check out the M20 TR6 on the Road Speed Garage site. Engine sits just behind the first frame cross member kind of mid engine like. They had to modify the fire wall and inner edges of the floor pan. Engine rear wheel hp just about doubles with this swap,
