Barry-
It ends up being a little more complicated than just front mounts. The front
plate must be a TR3 unit as the TR4 plate is too wide. This involves removing
the front pulley, timing cover, water pump, generator, timing gears (don't
forget to align them BEFORE you pull them off), then changing the plate and
putting everything back on.
Motor mounts on the 3 have always been a bear, but this will get you if you
don't pay close attention. No fun havin to pull the nicely fresh-painted
pieces off the front end of the motor with the engine and tranny hangin half
way into the chassis after spending all of Sat afternoon swearing and
wonderin why you can't get that pesky motor mount to line up !
Who me ? Nope wouldn't have been There...or done That
