does anyone have the part number for the engine mount to put a .21 engine in a funfactor?

is it the standard ct4s one? and do i also need the base plate to suit?

i had a link... but lost it, cant find the bugger again now.

aah - i think i found it...

will those mounts work?

i dont see why not myself, lots of adjustment there by the looks of it too.

They are the ones on the CEN website for the CT4S which is the one supplied with the big block. If you look on their site though, the picture of the engine sitting on the mounts appears to leave no room for adjustment. Have you looked at the New Era big block mounting kit? It may be a better option as it was designed specifically for the MT2.

the adjustable ones in the pic i posted are from the ct4r, i believe, so if they fit the ct4s as well... fingers crossed, they will work for me too!

i reckon im gonna go for those mounts and the ofna 11-15t bell with an alloy 3 shoe ofna clutch.

man, this had better work...

Those CTS09 mounts a for a .12 motor the part you want is the CT023 here is the link

spotted that thanks mate! in fact the seller emailed a link to me! lol - hes a good lad is john, best source of cen bits in the uk, and he actually knows what he is talking about... unlike irvine...

rolland - thanks yet again man! i was about to order those!

Those are the correct mounts to install a .21 engine. However, I found out that only a few .21/.26s will fit up to them. The clutch bell postion still has to be adjusted fore or aft for proper gear mesh. Of my .21 engines only the Ofna .21 would fit these directly and some creative leakage work had to be done. Also, several of my big block rear exhaust .15s work quite well with these mounts.

many thanks for all the help guys.

is there anything stopping me from using the .12 adjustable mounts other than the fact they are too low for a .21/.26? i was just thinking that i could shim the mounts to get clearance, and still have adjustability in the mounts for the gear mesh.

i was hoping to use the ofna 11-15 clutch bell...

The CT023 mounts that I have are angled out about 15 degrees and then they go strait up and are about the same height as the .16 mounts, meanwhile the stock .16 mounts go straight up. So I am going to have to say that the big block motors are several mm wider than the small blocks.

thanks for that rolland. as i have already ground out the engine adjuster plate holes due to fitting oddball gear ratios, i think i may stand half a chance of getting a .21/.26 to fit with what parts i have here, maybe the .12 mount will work too, gonna have to wait till i have the engine i think.

its gonna be a good week or so before everything arrives, so i will keep looking into it.
