    Question Drive shaft and Engine mounts - oh and shall i take the fuel pump?

    Im doing a B18 conversion
    i have a whole Volvo 480 turbo with 56000 on the clock
    iv pulled the loom out with both ecu and ive removed the engine

    DO i take the drive shafts - or are the GT turbo ones gona fit?
    ? at present ive loosened and removed the passenger side - so its out with
    and dropped the roll pins on the other side

    how much of the Volvo engine mounts do i need - i loosened them at the rubber round doughnuts to remove the engine - do i need the mount off the subframe too ?
    can someone point me in the direction of pics of mounts in a B18 converted R5 bay

    Do i need to take the fuel pump?
    any idea where i can get a GTX engine mount
    or a pic of one so i know what im looking for ,
    (im prob going to modify the GT one for the min and then send it away to have one manufactured from it)

    anything i should be taking in regards to hoses and extra bits?

    thanks in advance
    ps search didnt really come up with much in the way of answers to my questions!!

    I cant help with the conversion questions im afraid, but regarding the gtx front engine mount I possibly can.

    There was a guy on one of the facebook owners pages who made the mounting brackets to order for those doing either the b18ft or f7p/r conversions, if I remember rightly they were about 30quid each or something.

    I will pm you the guys name and you can have a look for him

    You can use the 5 gt driveshatfts mate, they will fit straight into the gearbox
    As mentioned us a GTX front mount or redrill a C1J one, the 2 gearbox ones you can use normal 5 ones as the box casings are identical

    I would fit a fuel injection fuel pump, something like a mk1 Golf GTI pump will do
