Do I want my YB chassis mounted in my Mex??

[MM77]

Well I dont know, do I??

 

Positives:

- Easier to remove front suspension without removing engine

- Lower centre of gravity (although perhaps negligible)

- Cooler, much cooler

 

Negatives:

- Vibration trough the chassis

 

What else do I need to consider?

I was concerned about vibration when chassis mounting mine but am reliably informed that it's no worse than a world cup X member and I've lived with that ok for years.

Well yeah, now I think about it, a WCXM cant be any softer than chassis rails - so vibration shouldnt be any different...

 

Think i'm going to do it

[Rich Sav]

do it

You can feel your engine working

next step for kooltina.......then i'm free to do the capri rack convertion without hastle

[turnover]

it makes getting the sump of so easy,and as above vibration is the same as wccm ,get it done

[Wessie]

chassis mounted engines FTW ! so much easier to work on

i got an XE mounted in my 100e and it dips when i rev it lol ... cool at the lights and soooo much easier when swapping suspension bits lol

By far the best way to mount a engine!

got my V6 chassis mounted on the 100E get it done , you know it makes sense

Chassis mount is the way to go. done it to my MK1 cortina. No difference in vibration compared when bolted to the crossmember on MK1/MK2 escorts and cortinas. MK3/4/5 cortinas have bushes fixing the crossmember to the chassis so will be a little worse on those but that's about it.
