Engine mounts.
I need to make a decision on the engine mounts in my Indy. I am using a Duratec 2.5 V6. The Duratec 2.5L has his engine mounts on the front and on the
back of the engine (instead on the left and right). Instead of using the standard engine mountplates on the Indy frame, is it possible to use the
space just before the steering rack in order to make mounting plates?
In the picture it is showing a brakeline.

On Mark 1/2 mondeos, the engine in the transverse application has a front and a rear mount to stop the engine rocking, I think these two, which will
be at the sides in your application, and the gearbox mount, will hold the engine adequately

That is a bit of the issue, it is only on one side. the near side has non. The duratec 3.0L has a special bracket, together with the oil filter to
take care of the problem. (the bracket does not fit a 2.5L).

On my Mazda V6 I used the alternator mounts for the engine mount , and moved the alternator to the other side on a home-made bracket - can you do
something similar on the Duratec ?
