Can't see why not, just drop the gear linkages for more room

How much would it cost to get this done though as my skills with a spanner dont stretch that far.

ring a few garages for some quotes, cant see it taking a fully qualified mechanic longer than 2 or 3 hours labour time?

I had to lower the engine gearbox side, remove all thermostat housing pipes and well generally anything in the way

Big amounts of effort required
