use ur 1.4 mounts and go to vauxhalls and get the tensioner of a 1.4 or 1.6 16v with no p/s. this bolts to the back off the engine just to tension the alternator belt | |

im talkin about the drivers side mount ian, the mount that encorporates the power steering pump and the tensioner for the drive belt. im now hoping to be able to adapt the original engine mount the and just do without the p/s and sumhow tension the drive belt by other means, i havnt thought that far ahead yet tho! | |

i dont thnk so no because the holes look closer together, and anyway the engine mount encorporates a tensioner for the fan belt, i would love to be able to use the original engine mount as it would save alot of problems but i cant see how i would tension the belt in future, anyone have any ideas how i could do this?? | |

x16xe mounts would be the obvious choice IMO | |

Im trying to stick a x16xe engine into my 1400 8v sri, but because my engine is an 8v the engine mounts/chassis legs are very different! is ther anything i can do to get the engine to fit or am i at a dead end with this?? are ther any mounts that i can buy from any companys that would allow the engine to be fitted?? |
