Donor engine dimensions
Discussion
Nice one razman,
what i need is overall length, (front face of fan-belt pulley to rear face of crankcase), overall width (distance between outer edges of exhaust manifolds, or just to outer extremes of cam-covers if no mani's fitted) and overall height (bottom of sump to top of throttle body or inlet) that would be great!
if you're not fed up with measuring by then, the position of the engine mounts relative to the centreline of the rear face of the block would also be great...
cheers in advance

Here you go...
1. Overall length, (front face of fan-belt pulley to rear face of crankcase) = 500mm
2. Overall width (outer extremes of cam-covers as no mani's fitted) = 630mm
3. Overall height (bottom of sump to top of throttle body or inlet) = 650mm
4. The position of the engine mounts relative to the centreline of the rear face of the block - right side is dead central in the 'V' I am uncertain of the left side as I made my own bracket bolting to the gearbox housing. There is also a third mounting at the back of the engine to prevent rotation - This attaches near the intermediate driveshaft connection point.
These measurements are pretty approximate but I hope it helps. If you need any pics I can email them to you.
Cheers,
Raz
ps Just thought I'd mention that my engine is using the transverse g/b - not sure if you have the same setup

Good work fella!
My application will indeed be transverse; plan is to use mondeo v6 engine/gbox in the back of a space frame chassis to make rwd mid mount. Currently looking at overall sizes of chassis, so just needed rough package size for engine to see if it will be feasible before I look at buying one...
As for pics, if you're happy to take them, then they would be useful yeah!
What are you putting the engine into?

Nice link AER 
I'm putting mine into a mid engined Aeon GT2 - apparently the V6 uses the same engine mounts as the 2.0 litre Vetec so it almost drops straight in (although I have yet to discover exactly how easy this will be
)
The only mods done to the engine are to retrofit a smaller alternator (the oem one is huge) and remove the aircon compressor, power steering pump and redundant idler wheel (my engine mount is now mounted there). This leaves a very short belt from crank pulley to alternator which will have to be custom made.
The biggest challenge will be the electrics - a custom loom and ECU is required (expensive) but at least this will allow me to use launch control, traction control etc which should make track days even more entertaining.
