Engine Mounts and Carb Height

Hi again,
I've been looking at why my carb air filter goes quite close to the underside of the bonnet (it only misses by about 5-10mm), and I wondered if maybe the previous owner had fitted the 'wrong' engine mounts.  I think I need a bit more room for fitting a Weber 32/36DGV with the spacer/adaptor to the single barrel inlet manifold.  Also, the mounts look a little dodgy:


Are these dodgy/the right mounts for fitting a 1600 into a Mk1 van?  Is it possible to get different mounts for lowering the block a little?
Thanks from a novice!

Thanks for that info - yes, it's a 681F block from a Mk2 Cortina (judging by the engine number - 681F6015JA) - is a 681 from a Cortina different to a 681 from an Escort?  From what I've found about engine and chassis numbers the van used to have a 1300 engine in it.

Sounds good!  Could you PM me a cost for the bits needed?
Please excuse my ignorance, but to change these over would it be just a case of bolting the right ones on, no change required to the crossmember?
The other thing - is this going to lower the engine a little to gain a bit more clearance for the carb air filter?  I suppose that's going to depend on whether there's enough room to drop the engine and not hit the crossmember or steering arms....

I've got a spare 32/36 manifold for a 1600 if you're interested. Its off a 75 ghia xflow.

Thanks for the offer - I am waiting on a guy from Hobart to get back to me with pictures of one he has for sale, but if it falls through I might send you a PM if that's okay.  Cheers!
