Spotted a little thing in the Wiki, in the M30 conversion page it says:
"Between the engine mounts and the subframe, you can use standard M20 rubber mounts or any equivalent 50mm thick. One solution is to use Land Rover V8 mounts with a spacer to raise them up to 50mm; they are both strong and cheap. Other alternatives include uprated M20 ones from Burton Motorsport"
The Burton mounts aren't uprated m20 ones, they are Ford RS2000 Escort fitment. Don't mean to nit-pick, just thought it might help out people reading the Wiki who are thinking of a conversion
