you may have to bend the bulkhead back a little. i had to in mine for the sfi box, should'nt be to hard. as for the engine mount you prob better off getting a proper mount kit for it. got mine from lmf vaux cost bout 425. much easier than making them and you know that there done right.

The mount will bolt straight on, no need to weld / move any thing.

Or save yourself the money and get a metal mount from a big block 1.6 etc from a mk2 astra in the scrappy. then cut and lower the part on the car 1.5".

Mount should only cost a fiver.
I've done this loads and never had an issue.

When he says the mount will bolt straight on, he means the adaptor bracket, not the actual engine mount.

The engine bracket on the car does have to be lower, but the adaptor plate avoids this. Austins method is also very viable.

Just in case you got mixed up there lol
