its not that hard, all u have to do is cut the battery tray out as the injector pump will hit it and to cut the drivers side engine mount on the chassis and fab one up and the wiring and the fuel lines.

Looks good, is it just bolted straight to a standard series box?

what exactly are you doing for the engine mount?

i need to do the same for fitting my 200tdi, and i'm at a bit of a loss what to do.

can you take some photos of that engine mount if you've done it already?

Cheers

i've had a good look at it now i have the engine in, and i've decided on what i need to do

i'm gonna use the mount that was bolted to the 2.25 on the drivers side.
turn it upsidown, and its exactly the right size to just weld onto the chassis rail. does this sound like a good idea?

i was going to do that myself, i weld it on to a bit of plate first to spread the weight for when it came to welding it on the chassis but ive never got round to doing it and i thought that it might not get thought it mot with it mounted like that

i cant see that being any weaker than anything else i could construct.


the other thought i had was to us the remnants of the old mount the i cut off. its got to be strong enough as it held the old engine fine.

That looks brilliant! Spats aren't really to my taste, I'd only use them if I was fitting wider axles. I'd love to do something like that with my series, but my welding isn't really up to scratch at the mo'
