My series 3 2.25 petrol is at deaths door again and i've found a replacement from a 2A.The oil filler is different to the current engine and it has a dynamo rather than an alternator.

Q1 are the engine mountings the same ?

Q2 will the alternator bolt on ?

Cheers peeps :D

I think ye can get direct replacement altys for engines that had dynamos originally. Think I saw it in a LRO mag once.
 
yep all done and dusted now thanks to robint and pikey......taking the old 2.25 apart for a full resto now !
 
got the head off the old engine,head gasket all fine with no leaks.......plenty of mayo in the rocker cover....the bottom of the head gasket was very wet......am I looking at a porus block ????
