Post by dunnin21 » Mon Nov 19, 2012 11:09 am

Still doing my engine swap. I'm ready to put the engine in now can anyone tell me were the new hole has to be drilled on the O/S engine mount as I'd like to do it now while engine still out but not sure we're to drill. Thank again guys.

I couldn't tell you I made custom engine mounts.

I would personally drop it into positon and loosely bolt the other mounts up first to work it out.
the last thing you want is for someone to tell you where to drill it and for you to go to fit the engine to find that they gave you the wrong measurements ;)

both times I have tried to get that hole in the right spot I have ended up drilling it too high and having to use a spacer.

best to offer it up like Scottie says

He will have got it done. It literally couldn't be any easier.

Bolt old 1300 mounts to 1600 block and offer it up with the spreader plate removed from the drivers side.

bolt up the passenger side and rear mount and you will see where the stud rests on the drivers side and just drill it out.

If it ends up too high just use a thick square washer.
