Guest iniquity Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 The standard engine mounts consist of four holes roughly half way along the length of the block. I am installing the engine in a Triumph Spitfire and these are too far towards the gearbox. I would like to use the mounting points towards the front of the engine, which I believe are normally used for the steering pump and aircon, etc. Does anyone know if this has been done before and if the engine internals are strong enough in this area. All informed advice most appreciated. Cheers Iniquity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustGav Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 You are better off moving the engine mounts to mate up with the engine.. Not looked at a spitfire bay, but on things like the morris the engine mounts are just bolted to the chassis leg. Had to move them about 6cm's for a conversion for a different engine.
