Engine Mount

[Balley]

Right well my bolts holding the O/S mount on the lump of my derv broke on Saterday, the engine needs to be removed so I migth aswell fit the 1.7 now

Right well I have got

Strenghting plates
Drives shafts
Gear box spacer plate
Engine and F18What else will I need, I am going to check the engine over before fitting of course

Do you need to ditch the oil cooler??

Do I need to cut the lug off the gear box??

How to I make the gear linkage fit?? Is it just a case of spinning it of something ?

Do I need to know anything else,?? I am hoping to have it fitted in arounf 4-6weeks and the engine built in 2 weeks

Thanks Dan

With the linkage, You need to file down the white block and spin it.

As far as i know its the same principles as fitting a big block petrol motor only you dont need a drivers mount lol.

i just thought you took the 1.5 out, fitted all the bits onto the 1.7 & stuck it back in......

What do you guys think about 96 scooby STi scoop?? Need a scoop for the top mount

I could but the F13 wouldn't stand it Bearing in mind mine were 132ft lbs and a 1.7 would hopefully be 170ft lbs+

Front mount it for less hassle and more performance imo.

Rads to big, and am not cutting holes in my front pannels,.. Top mouth is so easy, just have a look at yours, the cooler will go on top of the inlet and thats half the reason why I cut mine down

[mowgli]

look at older L200 trucks... the bonnet scoop & ic is crying out to be fitted to something else......

But you have to ventilate it which means vandalising the bonnet with some form of chav vent, which is far more visible than a hole in the front panel :p

Mowgli, good plan I was looking at vitara, pajero and trooper scoops too :D
