Engine mounts

Post by Skara »

Can anyone confirm are engine mounts same on C16NZ(small block) and C20NE(big block), I was going through the database and they seem to have different part numbers but look exactly the same on first glance ?

I would expect the parts to be different, as the engines are different sizes.

The NZ2 would probably be the same as the 20NE though, as that is a big block / family 2 engine.

I can check this evening if you like.

Okay - had a look.
None of the part numbers match between the C16NZ and the C20NE engine mounts.

I thought they would use the same mounts, but use different castings / brackets that link the mounts to the engine block and gearbox.

Sadly - they do not.
