3TGTE Questions (mounts, performance)

[holden_fan2005]

Hey guys. I after a couple of questions regarding a 3TGTE (1800 twin spark, twin cam turbo motor).

I currently have a 3T in my KE70 wagon with a 5 speed T50 gearbox.

My questions:

Will the 3TGTE bolt in (in the way of engine mounts) and will the block bolt up to the gearbox?

Would it be worth doing? I plan to possibly get the motor and go over it (rebuild the bugger ) when the KE70 is running then do a conversion.

Is the 3TGTE a alright motor? I don't think I'd run much boost but its got to have the go for a skid or two.

Any help will be fantastic

Cheers
Brad

engine mounting is the same, but you need the 3TGT mount for the exhaust side as it has clearance for the oil return from the turbo.
the T-50 won't last very long behind it unless it is a very fresh box, from memory the pushrod flywheel and clutch would need to be used on the T-50 as the 3TGT unit is bigger and would foul on the bellhousing?

get an engine and box (W-55) package.
the motors seems to go ok, the last one i had went into Will Cooks D1NZ car and held up to his abuse.
