interesting how the engine mounts etc had broken on this, the exact same thing happened when I crashed my 8v. common weakness?

I think he rode it up on a high kerb doing like 2mph and it just split the rear mount. it was lifted right out the subframe. No damage to the sump or that so it is a bit weird. i think any upwards movement will ruin the mounts as their not designed to be put under that kind of load.

yeah you're probably right.. I must have hit the underneath of the engine then. the block was slanted in the same way as yours.. btw how did you get the block so clean?

Loads of graft and some paint, used air tools with grinding stones.
