CVH Engine mounts
Thinking about it - 23/6/07 at 09:06 PM

Does anyone who has fitted a 1600 CVH have any photos of engine mounts? (Or know anyone who has)

As it was from a front wheel drive car XR3 the original mount points are toward the front of the block as opposed to in the middle on most RWD engines.

Just looking for someones ideas to steal! I hope.

i managed to make some mounts bolted to the origional bolt holes and leave the altornator in its origional position, but its a tight sqeze between the exhaust manifold and the back of the altornator. tried to take some pictures but not very clear! Rescued attachment engine mounts 004.jpg
