Also, on the other side, similar webbing clashes with the driveshaft. It is possible to remove the lower part of the engine block but I really don't want to start splitting the engine up and start working on the internals - This is one of the reasons I'm swapping the CVH out as I don't want to re-build it again. Hence why I'm now confronted with having to put the MTX75 box in. Any advice?

If so, does anyone have any photo's / dimensions etc as to how and where the chassis needs modifying and how / where the mounts fit / what mounts to use? I'm trying to fit a 2.0L Zetec out of a Mk1 Focus into my 2+2, originally thinking that I just needed to swap the engine, but it wont fit on the original gearbox, which is a pain. As a result, I've got no reference points as to where the engine and box need to be mounted onto the Quantum chassis. This is turning out to be an even bigger job than I imagined! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Keith -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Quantum Owners Group" group.
