Engine Mounts.

Where do i put the engine mounts? The car had a 2.8 in it, im putting a 350 in it. are the mounts in the same spot with both engines? or do i use the holes closer to the front of the car and move the brake line?

Not really sure what holes to use, I never really paid attention to any other holes there, but I can tell you that you'll be using just 3 of the 4 holes in the mount itself and its a real bustard to get the nuts on them. If I remember correctly the unused hole in the mount overhangs the front side of the I beam.

Yeah, there a b*tch to do. I've bot brand new poly-urathane mounts and after 1 hour of messing around. I quit trying to put them in. I'll wait till I yank the motor.

Front-most holes. They're a lot of "fun", to be sure. A-arms dropped is the easiest way, but that brings other "issues" into the picture.
