I have a 1961 261 installing in a 1946 1/2 ton. I am trying to keep it as original as possible. I have the aft engine mount bolts installed and tight. The front mount is off. The engine looks straight. I need to drill the holes for the forward mount but one of the bolts goes through at the bend. Do I need to some how install the front mount bolts to where it is on the straight part under the timing cover and then install the aft mounts? I would think it would be easier and aligned with the 2 aft bolts installed. Or do I need another front mount designed for the 261? I thought they were all the same? We used the old mount as a template to get it close. I removed the front mount top cover trying to get a better picture. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Hank
