(1)It is trouble enough to make.
Is this sentence correct?
Can a noun be placed before "enough"? |

I would not recommend putting a noun directly before "enough".
Adjectives come before "enough"; nouns come after "enough".
It is warm enough to go swimming but there isn't enough time. |

I agree with 2006, but note that people sometimes do put "enough" after nouns for emphasis. (I think it might be an Irish thing.)
There'll be time enough for that when you're older.
