These guys have some photos in their galleries on V6 transplants but mine is up on the hoist at the moment (doing driveshaft loop etc for cert) so will take a few photos of mounts and stuff. I didn't put in the power steering though.

I made my engine mounts out of the old bedford ones, cut them down, turn them around ...
There are so many people out there who will tell you that you can't. What you've got to do is turn around and say "watch me"

Well as the guys on here will tell you lots on ways to do this, But, click on start to open up your programe menu, click on paint, in paint click on open image, find location of photo you want, when it opens, click on Resize / Skew in the Horizontal and Vertical box type in 50 (%) this will cut the photo in size by half Eg: 25= 1/4 75=3/4 150 = 50% bigger than the photo size you started with, etc, this is good to use if you make the photo to small to reverse it. Then save it to the location you want. ALL WINDOW VERSIONS HAVE PAINT ON THEM UNDER THE START UP MENU. Good luck.

Cheers,
Garry.
