Should be a cracking car if you finish it off with the right parts :)

mounts? engine?
if so the rubbers are going to be replaced
if you notice the mounts apart from the front drivers are all vx standard parts so will be easy to upgrade to solids and the rubbers in the drivers side are cavalier front arm rear bushes so they will be replaced with polly bushes and all new bolts ect mate on final asembly

As for the 4x4, is that engine mounted higher then standard? looks high in the last engine shot pic's.

sorry for the thread hijack , but the cvh engine had a poxy breather filter near the inlet manifold that was supposed to get changed every service (iirc)... my missus bought a mk3 escort that started running really crap with mayo in the rocker cover etc.... but the fluid levels were ok, i found the breather was blocked, and the little vac pipe to the inlet manifold was blocked solid with engine sludge... £3 fix.

I was just mentioning it as the mounts use a single bolt and in some cases drilling out one of the exisiting holes means the engine will sit slightly different.

Is cool though.

is there a engine spec anywhere ? are you using a locked transfer box ?

the mounts were fabed from scratch mate well the steel parts any way hence why there all in different places as i wanted the deivers side lowered ect hence why i used the lower mounting holes that are used on an aircon mount for a cav turbo

in regards to single bolt there not there twin in a way as theres 2 chassis mounting points on the drivers side mount it shouldnt be a problem as i have got an engine stabiliser going on the top aswell

yeah transfer box is beeing locked mate and the VC is having work done and a different type of fluid so it transfers 300 - 350lbs of torque to the rear same as the qrew boxes. was looking at just using a qrew box but there best part of 2k and you strugle to get hold of them

found out how its done ect and had a word with a guy that does gearboxes at a comp spec level and he claimes it can be sorted real easy and fairly cheap in comparison
