The engine is as low as it can go and still have a flat(ish) floor - it's quite a tall engine. It's miles behind the steering rack - the rack is in front of the top rocker arms and dampers. The sump (also home-made from billet, with some help from a friend with a CNC router to do the heavy lifting) just sticks out below the bottom panels.
Brommers-
Stupid questions what is going through my mind:
Would have dry sumping the engine helped lower the engine, or doesn't matter as the engine position is controlled by the output shaft on the gearbox.Would the ducati trick of making the bottom of the fuel tank the top of the airbox help in this situation? This would be using the bonnet bulge.
Would sacrificing a straight inlet noticably alter the power characteristics of the engine? As lancia did on the fulvia v4?
The turn in without a view would make me slower. Also give me the FEAR

How high up is the engine, relative to the steering rack (which it looks like it might go in behind, actually)?
