engine mounts, can't decide
Lots of questions here! I'm replacing a Fiat TC engine that were far back in my chassis with the Duratec. Unlike others I have to move the
engine to the front, but engine mount are a little off:
Will it work OK with this slant? (The mounting rubber is Land Rover 50mm diameter). I read Flak monkey's thread but mine is the other way,
forward instead of backwards...
Many thanks!

I'd say it will be fine. The duratec is a light weight engine and the landrover mounts are very ridgid. Just use some large box if you want to
be on the safe side.

Can you not extend the plate to the left (there seems to be a useable bolt hole to the left and up a bit) and then angle the mount slightly less, so
it comes between the to bolts on the left. (if theres enough gap between those bolts.

Yes, it can be done on these side, not on the other thought. Thanks!
