where are people bolting the l/h mount to the block on a zetec? the four bolt holes at the front bottom of the block where the alternator was mounted on my fiesta engine?

not sure on the zetec, think the alternator brackets may be a little far forward, could possibly put too much weight on the gearbox end of the engine and gearbox mounts?

als have a little update, thanks to some advice from people i have managed to get the engine mounts fabricated and the engine 'trial fitted' used 5mm plate and 50x50mm 5mm thick box section for the mounts themselves.

shortened the sump too, went a little too short though, will be ok for IVA (plan to install a zetec after) so not going to bother unless i get stuck for something to do!

got the landrover rubber engine mounts from here http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Land-Rover-Ran...item3ef686c64b super fast delivery (next day)


diff and headlight mounts next then clean up and paint!

the steering column is only temp until i find some suitable metal in a scrap bin to make a proper one

some pics for your enjoyment.

You must be chuffed to get the engine in.

I've only just (yesterday) lifted mine out of my donor.

I've put mine at the front. however I'm not sure I like it there so I'll probably move it back to the centre with a new mount. i'll have to turn up some spacers because of the dipstick hole.
