my advice having just welded up my zetec mounts - wait until you have the engine before cutting any metal!

I made plywood templates for the zetec mount plates, welded in the chassis mount plates and bolted the steel plates to the zetec. Positioned the engine in the chassis correctly, making sure to get the height right and everything as square as possible.

Then cut/tack your mounts together, remove and fully weld. Making the mounts without the engine will only lead to disaster IMO...
