Nope, i wouldn't think so the Kers unit is under the fuel tank and would not increase the length of the cylinder heads and block.

Piola also suggests a similar layout for Ferrari in his most recent publication.

See the start of the gearbox discussion at:

Maybe we should consolidate the lotus 79 build discussion into one discussion thread.
Who knows how to do that?

Fine work there.
Just to clarify for me before I order the kit, does it have the old universal Cosworth engine from all their older kits or is it a new one?

I was busy in this weekend so I couldn't build Lotus 79. I hope I can update some pictures in next week.
