Hello all,
I have a problem. Taken out the 970 lump and am putting in 413 unit with 5 speed box but it wont fit! I have 413 engine mounts but the left mount will not line up by about 3 inches and both mounts just seem too short. also the gearbox mount is different and will not fit either :argh:

Hi yeah you will need to make and weld different engine mounts for 413 engine...

Hey timmo where in the country are you, there might be someone nearby that can help, its pretty darn easy to modify the engine mount on the chassis.

Its a 10 min job with the grinder and welder. Cut mount off, bolt to engine drop back on chassis rail weld up :)

Thanks for the encouragement! I live near Bury st eds in suffolk. I'm afraid I have no welder. I assume gearbox mount needs welding too?
