Andy, this is another difference in regulations between the 60s and 70s, because in the 60s, Special Saloon regs stated that the engine had to be mounted in original, or as near to the original, mounting point. So, as far as I can remember, the Janglia's straight six was mounted at the front not mid way through the cockpit, as was the engine in, say, Doc Merfield's V8 Cortina.
The above is as I remember it from 50 years ago; I'm happy to be corrected if I'm wrong.
