The time has finally come to fit the engine, but struggling!! It is an auto to manual conversion with the auto subframe, has anyone got a thread already for this build??

You need to use the rubber mount from under the radiator from the auto engine as the hole spacing is different on the sub frame that side compared to a manual and between the engine mount and the clutch cover you will need to fit a 3/8" thick packer as an auto's sub frame is wider than a manuals

Probably should have mentioned, I have the conversion engine mounts... Does the above still stand?? Thanks for the reply

If you have the conversion mounts then I assume not but I didn't use them when I did the conversion so I can't tell you. The only other thing you will need to do is connect the inhibitor wires together. The rest is the same as a manual. Just bolt the bits in place

I don't have a picture but i can tell you that it runs up from the floor pan, to the upright of the bulkhead under the crossmember and then around the bulkhead crossmember into the T-piece and then the master cylinder :)
