Pauly35 Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 i did it, and i used some spacers on the front engine mounts, had to weald a plate on top of the current bracket on the chassis to lift the engine about 1cm... fits perfect. Hold the engine in place to its spaced up to whatever space you want [mines about 8mm] and then pack the front mounts with spacers [larger washers about 1cm thick] OR do what i did, weald a plate on top of the mound on the car to lift everything. no different parts needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
