Thanks for that - about the bottom radiator hose there sure will be a =
problem -=20
Sacrilege though it is my friend wants to swap a grey 6 cyl Holden/GM =
engine for a red 6cyl Holden engine. The original grey GM US engines =
had a single engine mount up the front where the red Australian designed =
Holden engine had 2 mounts, 1 on each side.=20
I guess the damage was already done.
What we have found is a pair of mounts that came of a series 2 Holden =
conversion and we wanted to know it they will fit the 1957 vehicle. =
Before we buy them and get them shipped.

Having done it, yes, you can fit a 2-1/4 litre engine into a '57 Ser I =
without modification of the nounts. Remember, the 2-litre diesel, which =
uses essentially the same block as the 2-1/4 litre petrol, was available =
in the late Ser. I's. There is an issue with the lower radiator hose, =
however.

Hi fonts of knowledge post 1953.
Can anyone tell me whether the chassis brackets for the engine mounts =
of a '57 SWB are in the same location relative to the gearbox as the =
chassis brackets of a Series 2 / 2a 2283cc Land Rover.
I guess the same question could also be asked: "can you fit a 2283cc =
Series 2 /2a engine with standard engine mounts straight onto the =
chassis brackets in a '57 SWB without having to alter either the chassis =
brackets or the engine mounts?=20
Cheers
Diana :-)))
P.S. It's not an 80" bit of knowledge so why would I know!!!
