Duratec V6 mounting points
The Jag version of the Duratec V6 has an awkward combined engine mount and oil filter take off plate on the left hand side of the block which gets in
the way of exhaust manifolds.
It can easily be removed and replaced with a straight oil filter connection, with or without oil cooler, as in the FWD variants but what to do for
engine mounting?
Anyone have pic or diagram showing how the front engine mounts in a V6 Mondeo and what casting tapped holes are used?
Cheers!
PS pic attached (not mine) to show oil filter on a mondeo variant. I thing the 4 holes to the left are for the power steering pump

Also here is pic of Jag oil filter assembly - you can see why I want to get rid of it!

I had the same problem. A fabricated engine mount would be huge, and complicated  I opted to cut the oil cooler/filter housing off the mount and fit
a remote filter.
The oil ways in the casting are a perfect bore to tap 3/8 BSPP and fit an adaptor for hoses. I will take some photos later, I only have this one at
the moment.

Would appreciate pic from a different angle. I was concerned that the oil pipes would be too close to the exhaust from this angle which is why I had
second thoughts about copying you.
In the X type the oil filter screws directly on so the engine mount must be somewhere else and it might be easier to use this - hence the question.

The oil pipes are clear of the exhaust, I will get some photos up later.
The X-Type engine is mounted the same as the Mondeo, no mounts on the oil filter side of the engine ( the front/rad part of the car).

Ah! that's why I could not find any pics online. How is the engine supported then?
Cheers!
