Motor mount issues

kazin1111 · 07-07-2008, 11:49 AM

So the motor is in the engine bay but for the life of me I cant get the motor mounts to line up. I used the old motor mount on the passenger side because it had all 3 holes, the drivers side can only be one mount. The front and rear mounts (im talking about physically bolted to the motor) can fit in either place, but on the old motor the rear mount had a 3rd place to bolt. So I put that same mount on the rear of the new motor. Also, the 2 front mounts are different. One front mount has slack for the bolt to slide around, so I went with the mount that didn't.

Did I choose the right mounts? can someone post some pictures of the front and rear mounts (both car and engine)? I've been at this for 2 days and about 7 hours.

Just use the MR2 mounts as they were, and it'll fit no problem. Getting them lined up can be a huge pain in the ass, but it will fit if you use the stock MR2 mounts.
