Just seen this. I considered doing much the same, but in the end decided one re-engined car was enough, so bought a sprint engine for my Toledo.
However, I did pick up a Rocketeer ECU with AJ30 loom, which I no longer require....
Have you seen the threads on the Locostbuilders site about AJ30 engines? pretty informative stuff.
I looked into getting some of the rocketeer kit but some of it was expensive, and well, if you deny need them...
Nah, I’m skint at the moment
I’ve seen a handful of threads, and yeah, pretty informative

If the 5mm plate has a slightly warped imprint of the weld on the engine side then it will be fine, but even then it can always be weave welded over the top with 150amps worst case.
Just noticed your axle might be a koln axle which are regarded as rather weak, people all want the 'strong' baby atlas but even those aren't much better than a sprint axle.
I’ll have to check, only thing I can find online is that the Koln axle has slightly different bolt spacing from the Atlas but they did come in the Cortina, the guy I bought it from said it was an Atlas.
EDIT: f$$k, it’s a koln, well, got to get a new axle now. Should be stronger than the 1500 axle that was in it I guess. I remember I asked on here if the sprint axle was strong enough and someone said probably not, that’s why I went for an Atlas.
And yeah, they printed rewelded in all seriousness, I’m not the best, it seamed to get some good penetration but might grind it out and re do it all
