Looking good mate, I had the same problem at the weekend got sent a corsa mount instead of the nova one, annoying when your trying to make progress!

Yeah it was annoying doesn't help that people advertise them as corsa/nova from time to time
Just modified the corsa mount earlier, engines sitting ok I think
Exhaust is spot on just need a flexi to join manifold and system.
Hopefully hear it running at the weekend
Wot did u have to do to modify the mount?
Cut of the bit that bolts to the engine and made a plate then welded it, it's only a temporary one
Must look at the one I bought to see if it's the right one, known my luck it will be the wrong one too
If you have a decent power welder than buzz it up and it'll be fine tbh! It's worth spending a bit of time in mock-up getting the engine nice and level anyway.
Done a bit today, connected all the wiring to the engine and fitted exhaust manifold and system..
Alternators tight but I've got a solid mount for the rear what do yous think?
Also it seems like the radiator won't fit with my manifold and the slam panel may need a slight notch for the thermostat to rad hose
If you had solid mounts all round alternator clearance would definitely be fine as it is but I'd at least think about Tiger-sealing the two front mounts combined with the solid rear and try rocking the engine quite vigorously to see how much movement there is.
Tidy work so far
Thanks bud, may just notch it or move it to the front. Just want leave it tidy either way
