Test Fitting on the engine today





Was a little bit of a pain to go in, but removed a couple of sensors and with some giggery pokery she is in.

Cambelt engine mount is different from the Duratec (3 holes on ecoboost 2 on Duratec), but we should be able to use it. Main issue is height, but will put a shim under the chassis engine mount and should be able to get the engine nice and level.




Next is the Turbo, close on the inlet but the outlet hits the main chassis. Dont see this as being too much of a problem will be able to rotate it 45 degrees (New bracket for actuator) and should fit




Couldnt get under the car but the other issue was the Aircon Bracket hitting the drivers side water hose, should be able to get round this

Plenty of clearance on the pulleys even with the double crank pulley (supercharger)



Also the Oil Filter Housing was removed, looks like i will need to fit a remote filter which i already have



All in All, not a bad day out. Hopefully have a few more updates before Xmas

Gearbox is being rebuilt to a k series bellhousing and Flywheel has been ordered 4.25kg
