Managed to grab an evening at the workshop tonight.
Hopefully this is the final attempt at the bottom arm and it will clear the sump now.

I built up over the tie bar mounting hole

I will box it all in and make it pretty, once I know it works.
and at the other end I added some gussets to meet the bottom of the suspension tower.

I just need to move the bar over at the cam belt end and then I can offer the engine/box up again.

Shoehorn required, but engine is in the frame:

I had to extend the removeable bar and add the carrier for the gearbox mount. The bar at alternator belt end got moved over.
The sump was still touching the bottom arm slightly, but the engine was sitting level with driveshaft holes lining up with the outputs on the gearbox, so I thought sod it. And did the mounts.
I can probabably get away with a very shallow notch in the bottom arm to clear the nob on the sump that touches the frame.
