Pinto is from mk5/4 cortina. I Understand I may need to shotenthe sump and reposition the oil filler.Could Any locost Cortina builders give mesone hints on enginemount brackets? Do I use the original engine brackets and rubber mounts? What mods are req'd on the gearbox mount.
Cheers

when i put the pinto in...(its long gone) i used the cortina gbx mount and the cortina engine mount rubbers,

i fitted the rubbers directly to chassis, then made a mount from top of rubbers to engine, gbx xmember was just bolted ti underdide of trans tunnel, you will (unless you have arms like a monkey) need to extend the gear linkage.....

happy building....Jon.
