Message: [QUOTE="me2, post: 333385, member: 3825"] I put the turbo back on the engine to get some measurements. [img] https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-FULhTjnJk8Q/T8aVV6kWw9I/AAAAAAAABKs/N9Apuw_7bjw/s800/DSC_7094.JPG[/img] I built a 3D model of the engine so that I can get a better feel for how it fits in a truck when I visit the Ford dealer. It always surprises me how boxy and square these engines look in profile. I double measured everything and the model is pretty much dead on for the actual engine profile. I made it 10" wide, which is a good average for the real engine. I then marked off the areas of the major components as well as how far they stick out. [ATTACH=full]86443[/ATTACH] I did the same thing for my last swap, but it was only a 2D model. I'll resume tearing down the engine tonight. I dug up my old (04.5) engine mounts. The new ones are on the left, the old ones are on the right. Same engine bolt mounts, same mount bolt position, except the 04.5 passenger side mount is shifted about 1/2". The new mounts have the isolator built into the mount. The 04.5s use a cartridge isolator.

A birdie told me that 2 of the shorter mounts might work well to mount my engine. [/QUOTE]
