coppyed from the above site 
The right hand engine mount from the CVH engine is easily adapted to fit the zetec block and mate up with the MK3 chassis mount. By accident we discovered that there is an optimum combination of engine mount components from different age vehicles which minimises the amount of cutting required on the engine bracket.
Fundamentally the engine bracket needs to be cut so it doesn't foul the oil pump, it's fairly obvious what's needed when you offer it up. one of the lower fixing holes is in a different position, but in practice the two fixings which do align are more than adequate for the job. By selecting the right parts though, it's easy to redrill the third hole.
The chassis mounting rubber portion of the mount is always the same - early MK3, part number 81AB6038AC, the engine bracket is best sourced from late MK3 or early MK4, part number 84AB6A060BB. This combination requires the least amount of cutting. The earlier engine bracket can be used, but is much stouter in all the wrong places, and will give your angle grinder a harder time.
