He's better off dropping the motor in without trying to change the front cover etc. and making custom mounts.

If he makes a small cradle at the back of the engine bay then he can use the stock FD mounts. The front cover from a 1st gen probably won't work. I know that the front cover from a 2nd gen causes fitment problems with the oil pan.

hmm ito knows how to make it work..... he said oil pan, front cover and probably something else. same thing you use to put a 13B in a mazda B2200 https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png
