OH it looks bare again lol!!
Yeh i stiched the full front end of the car for the 1600 8v engine. So IM sure its fine for the XE!! Not sure on the power and torque of the LET though Mat. Might be better Welding some plates in around the mounting points etc!!
Good luck with the engine change mate, even if its not my cup of tea lol!!
