the shell should be the same as any other mk2 fiesta as far as im aware so you should be able to use a normal fiesta xr2 engine mount.
would stick the 5 speed box in thoughas swapping that and the gearlinkage is less hassle as you can use the original xr2 clutch and release bearing and know 100% it will work as it should. the thing spacer is merely a debri guard to stop crap getting into the flywheel.

the only difference that i no of is that the body is different on the ns on the lesser models so you have to attack it with a ginder to get the 5speed box to fit which isnt the end of the world would just rather not if i can reuse the 4speed
