Dan,
from memory when I did previous Xtreme with Pinto, I used the original sierra engine mounts and the cam cover fitted under the bonnet- just.The oil filler cap had to be changed for a lower cap that I got from Halfords for a few quid. Not sure why your engine sits so high with the cam cover hitting the bonnet. I had a single downdraught weber carb without filter, but the clearance was small, power was down and you needed to watch out for scorching on the underside of the bonnet due to flashback from the carb. Initially, I fixed some fire retardant material to the underside and this solved the fire risk issue. However, as power felt limited, I cut a 65mm hole in the centre of the bonnet and it improved immediately. After this I fitted an oval K & N filter with an oval cut-out in the bonnet, obviously. If you ended up doing this, you could turn this hole into an air intake grille with another matching one on the other side: may not look too bad.
