ZS 160 ? was it a previous convertion before you got it.

ZS 160?? do you mean ZR 160? or ZS 110,120,180? The ZS doesnt use a subframe as far as fitting the T series you need the Cambelt side engine mount, Gearbox side engine mount
Bottom (sump mounted) steady bar from a 420. Although not 100% as never done or had one.

Sure Pete T16 who has a ZS turbo will be better qualified to comment :)

ok,, cz the back subframe doesnt fit offf the 620 and there isnt a subframe on the front ov my zs for some strange reason, soooo what cnn i do abwt tht????

Yer the ZS uses a subframe for the suspension arms and steering rack but the engine hangs off the body, You will need the running gear from a 420 bubble (95-99) for the mounts and believe the loom from the 420 is alot closer to that of the 620.
