Alright, I'm getting back to it

[Joel Sass]

Hey all. I bought a mid-1.8L swap vehicle like 16 years ago, and I'm finally getting around to it.

I had nothing to do with fitting this engine in the vehicle, but taking a look at it right now, it doesn't appear straight in the engine bay.

I feel like this isn't normal.

Is this normal? 

Thanks in advance

Not normal at all. It looks like the passenger side engine mount is not correct. It is a custom build item.

Alright, both you and Mark have said "no" to my question. Does anybody have the dimensions required to get this engine to sit right?

Hi Joel,

There are two linked docs in this thread here that seem to have some good insights on mounts.

https://www.clubprotege.com/forum/forum/mazda-323-bf-1986-1989/engine-drivetrain-bf-chassis/52996-how-to-bpt-swap-into-bf

I saw this too "Once I got the BPT in the engine bay I was able to use the stock passenger motor mount, I had to make a 1/8" steel plate adapter to bridge the GTX and BPT

mounts. I also re-drilled the larger bolt that slips thru the motor mount back
1" on the bracket. The starter and alternator from your B6T will bolt up fine, as well as flywheel and clutch assemblies. "

Cheers,

Mark
