ALL - Appologies for the duplicate information in my previous responses. Mark - I saw the discussion below with Jim on your earlier thread about the 2+2 Zetec conversion.
I did wonder if I have a similar problem with the Coupe - unfortunately I have no history to the car. There is a Build manual but there is no instructions regarding the need to pack any engine mount. Perhaps someone with a Coupe could comment or possibly provide come measurements for comparison..... Regard AJ Extract from 2+2 Zetec conversion++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The quantity of washers that were in there were applying significant force to the engine assembly. This provides a logical explanation for breaking 3 inboard cv joints in 8000 miles. I may be wrong but to me that makes sense. I have to admit I hadn't looked at that part of the build manual but Peter is going to use the other two engine mounts to locate the engine and then pack out just enough to take the tension out of the system.

But not quite as much as 1/2", mine was about 10mm from memory, i turned up a stainless steel spacer rather than use the stack of washers the build manual suggests.
