forgive the ignorant question but hoping someone has info to hand quickly, looking to mount 1.6 ecoboost in my striker. Does anyone have any pics of mounting points or mods required? all tips welcome!!

It should be the same mountings as a 1.6 sigma zetec, afaik raw can supply these to suit.
There may be space issues depending upon turbo positioning.
There's some pics here;

Caterham and Westfield also fit this engine as standard so may be pictures if you google. But I suspect the only way is to use the ac and ps mounting points near the front of the engine. As said the bock is the same as the zetec se/sigma engine.

Many thanks for the replies, reassuring to know can use standard mounts!

Are you on Facebook? If so look up AB Performance as they are putting an Ecoboost in a new car for Aries Motorsport and have loads of build pictures of the last 6-8 months on the page.

Edit. The AB cars were originally based on modified Striker chassis
