hi guys, from what i was told yesterday the mounts are different, only one or two of the factory MB engine mount holes line up with F5a engine.

cheers

hi oti, the engine and box are'nt actually going into a MB, its being transplanted into a 1974 model morris mini :D thats why i needed the spares so i can cut up parts and make them fit, it would just make life a little easier if i had the parts that bolt up to the block and also i need the drivers ...

hi oti, yeah found that out tonight, spoke to a mechanic that had fitted a f5a dohc turbo into boy in hornsby and he said most of the mounts had to either be modified or made from scatch, looks like i will have to make them up oh well back to the drawing board.

hi john, can you sms my your mob number and some details and i will give you a call to discuss whats needed.

thanks wayne
my mob is 0402 879 304
