Before lifting the engine up into position, the bottom engine mount bracket has to be drilled and bolted.

This is a little awkward as you have to place the bracket into position, mark and then get under the chassis to drill through. As lining up the holes was pretty tricky, I decided to drill a pilot hole then enlarge it to suit, with the bracket in-situ.

25 minutes later - all done.

I bolted the bracket into place and we are good to go for the installation.

Martin and I pushed the hoist into position, with the engine just above the engine bay.

Martin's face say it all - Its never going to fit in there!

Then it was a matter of getting the engine as far forward as possible, in fact it has be be up against the firewall, tilt the gear end down and with a scooping motion, lower the engine into position.

TIP: Prepare yourself at this point for scraps, sweat, head scratching and a colour selection of swear words! It was an absolute bugger to get in

All in position now.

Note that the far engine mount is not in place as yet.

Two very happy guys!

The engine mount simply cups on top of the original Rover hydromount ( I actually decided to buy new one) and bolts to the engine.

Even Little Bis was impressed...

Time to let the engine go to rest in its new home

Job done!
