Good work there - this isn't an easy transplant. How does it handle - I've always assumed that the engine and gearbox would a bit heavier again than a 2 liter and therefore would be very inclined to understeer?
im sure with the correct suspension, and tyres it would turn quite well :thumb:Quote:

the mount is pretty simple tbh. pice of place with 3 holes for the engine to bolt to, pice of plate with 2 holes for the top mount, there welded together and a strengthener inbetween top triangulate it.Quote:

Obviously its a load of crap/\
How can a 6pot engine(with more wires,sensors, bigger inlet, 4cams etc etc) weight the same as a 4pot. Impossible
Its a little bit heavier to be honest, but is all good! lol
cool thread matey, good work!
Yes its held on with zip ties! lol thats just while the back axle is off as am making a new bracket for the back box,Quote:
