Maybe a very slow conversion of a series 3 1725cc Alpine Automatic to a 2800cc Ford cologne V6 engine from a Ford Capri 2.8i ( 88-99-PF )

Engine and Gearbox in final position
The engine mounts were welded in place.
In fact I welded the left one, fitted the engine again and then tacked the right one in place to be sure before removing the engine and finishing the weld.
I decided to use the Jose gearbox mount rather than the auto box mount.
I used a Sierra type 9 small vibration mount and modified the Jose mounting to fit.
The Jose mounting was in the right place - just needed a different set of holes.
The modified gear lever is set a bit further forward now.
But as I cant select 1st or 2nd gear I may have to take it all out again!
Also replaced and re routed the front brake pipes.
And installed the Clutch master cylinder and clevis in the final position.
