    MGB GT Zetec Conversion Engine Mounts

    I am currently changing my MGB GT to a blacktop 2l Blacktop. looking at the engine mounts the original engine mounts need to be moved back so that the zetec sits in the right place. rather than cutting the old mounting brackets off the car is the an off the shelf set of brackets i could buy and either bolt on or weld on

    appreciate the help thanks

    I doubt you'll be able to find your own, I used a combination of modified retro-ford mounts on the engine and made my own chassis brackets, took a few templates to get it right but working so far

    Do you have any picture of your chassis brackets. I have the engine mounts of ford retro. Was sure if the was a off the shelf bolt on chassis bracket

    best picture I have on my phone, also used these plates and had to cut off the mount on one and attach to a new plate, but was fairly simple and easy

    I'm sticking an ST170 lump in my BGT. I'm at the engine mount stage - having looked at what's available off the shelf I figured it would be easier/cheaper to make my own mounts. So far I've found I need to sort the sump/cross member clearance out first.
