I used a Ser III gearbox. There was no problem with the tranny mounts.
To use the Ser I transmission, I would have had to change the bellhousing.

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.<br>
