So, this mount... how was that silvertop mounted? And do blacktops and silverstops mount the same?
I'm ok to make one, but I just want to make life a little easier where possible.. I did a lot of fabrication to get the engine into a Ka!!!
EDIT: silvertop uses that back mount, cvh style.. which is ok. Worked in the Ka, would rather go for the proper side mount this time.
I also want to keep power steering and A/C I think this can be done
He knows nothing the weight diffrence between the two engines is nothing.
Easyest thing to do is get the focus mount and with the engine in, level up the engine then mark on the mount where you need to cut down the focus mount to make it level then just drill it and fit it into the car.
Gearbox wise you can keep you std gearbox if you use the focus 1.8 ib5 bellhousing on the puma gearbox. (the ib5 can easly take frs power)
