No worries,

1. My father is an engineer, so we were able to do most of the work ourselves, and I wanted to see just how far I could push it.
Also I was doing slot if it as design research, as I was making the parts for sale eg I was making the brackets, inlet and outlet pipes, bearings and modified parts and selling them

2. In regard to clearance issues with the twins, I have a custom made bonnet with more clearance, on the engine it was more a case of rearranging the engine to suit ie a/c and power steering.
