What vehicle did you put the engine in and what issues did you have with
motor mounts etc?
Thanks,
Dave.

It is possible and has been discussed at great lengths on this forum.

You either have to get custom pistons made or custom rods made, no stock
combo will work properly unless you use a eurovan block.

I think eurospec uses stock rods with a custom piston that moves the wrist
pin closer to the deck.

You might want to pick their brains and see specifically what they use. For
my 2.5 conversion I used a eurovan block and bolted on a turbo head.
