Default MK6 Fiesta conversion to blacktop Zetec

Just about to start this build.
I know it's been done before.
But can anyone tell me what engine mounts can be used?
Will be using MTX75 box too.

Cheers

I'm pretty certain you'll have to make your own mounting points. It will be focus engine and box mounts, and you'll have to fabricate the points they bolt to.

Standard engine mount can be used but needs spacing down. MTX 'box can be used with standard Mk1 Focus driveshafts but back mount and gearbox mount need to be adapted/fabricated.

Any idea what exactly needs to be done with the mount at gearbox end?

You need to weld a Mk1 Focus gearbox mount fitting to the inner wing.
