Engine mounts are the same on both. If original carb is ok that can be used or I do believe you can use the webber. Driver side needs to move forward

If remember right I'm using vit mounts now in mine and sorry it was a few years back that mine was done. What we done was bolt the mount to the engine and the metal plate, sat the whole thing in where it looked right then tacked the bracket in. Then took the engine and box out and welded the bracket in place.

I always use the 1.3 engine mounts, on the drivers side you need to drill a new hole about 2cm back and about 1cm down

I usually lower the engine in on one mount to give me a better idea of where the hole needs to be

You may need to space it out a bit otherwise the whole engine and gearbox will be tilted to one side.

if you use the weber you will probably have to change the jet for the bigger engine to get the best performance...

I used the black bracket but I think mine might be a bit to high for some peoples likings but it is level so I'm happy

Use the spreader plate on the passenger side but on the drivers side just drill a single hole for the rubber mounts stud to go through.

I used RRC engine mounts with holes re drilled. Also on the T box too
