    Series 3 4 cylinder engine mount problem, help needed

    I am having some trouble with my series 3 engine mounts.
    They just don't look right and I am hoping someone may know if something is wrong.

    The series 3 LWB vehicle came with a 6 cylinder Holden engine when I purchased it and due to clutch alignment problems I have put a very second hand 4 cylinder engine from a series 3 SWB back in to the LWB .


    The passenger side engine mount bracket looks like it has been broken and repaired. the steel where the top of the mount goes isn't flat and looks curved.

    I am not even sure if the mount is on the correct side of the engine as the engine looks to be low at the front and pointing a little to the drivers side.

    If any one has any photos of some good series 3 engine mounts and is able to post them would be very appreciated.

    If I remember correctly, and I my not remember correctly, the engine mounts are modified to fit the Holden engine - certainly when I put a 161 in my 54 Series 1 40 years ago the kit came with different engine mounts but I cannot remember if it was the Holden mounts or bits to change the welded mounts on the LR chassis - I do remember modifying the chassis mounts though.

    Hopefully someone with more up to date information will be along to clarify for you.

    Good luck

    No I don't think I have that bit .
    I will have a look around and see if one is left over somewhere.
    Thanks for the photo it is great

    Is the top of the left hand bit flat or does it have a bowl shape where the mount goes ?

    Many thanks
    Ian

    Its sposed to be flat. Its where the round mount goes for petrol engine or square mount for diesel engine.

    Cheers Rod
