Some measurements required

Could someone do me a massive favour please. Could someone measure a couple of bits on a 4th or 5th gen as I'm looking to possibly do a H22 swap in the truck.

The measurements I could do with are:
- the distance from strut centre to strut centre for the front struts
- the track width (outside edge tyre to tyre on the front)
- approximate height of the engine from bottom of sump to top of the rocker

That'll give me an idea on if it will actually fit.

Cheers.

No, that's just called wishful thinking!

Ruler?

I was taught to use "other" methods of measurement.

Precisely. Like a dip stick there is a min and max measurement Mark roughly an inch apart.
