RWD 4AGZE engine mounts

Hi,
I just thought I would share my experience. We have just put the 4AGZE in my Celica (74 model, TA22), and had to modify the Sprinter engine mounts and the Celica mounts. This is how we did the engine mounts.
1. When you look at the intake side of the engine, you will notice a black brace that supports the inlet manifold, and also a large S/C brace with 5 or so nuts and the one long bolt holding it on.
2. When you put the Sprinter mount on, it will not fit.
3. We placed several nuts on the back S/C brace bolt, and used an angle grinder with a 5 inch METAL blade to cut this of the S/C brace. Take your time, and you will not touch the engine at all.
4. Once this is done, take the nuts of the bolt (Stops the bolt from being damaged), then use a chisel or screwdriver to break the back part of the brace away.
5. The next problem is the black brace. Place this in a vise, and place a bit of pipe over it and gently bend the pipe till it fits with the engine mount on. Use only small bends at a time, and it should fit like a charm.
The engine mounts will be done the way that most suits you, so I'll leave that to your imagination.... I'll post some pics of the engine mounts and the cross-member mounts shortly.
Cheers,
Justin
