Will these work for me or will I have to drill holes to mount in the front where the 216 mounted | | | | | Joined: Dec 2000 Posts: 3,399 Gas Pumper | | Gas Pumper Joined: Dec 2000 Posts: 3,399 | You will have to drill holes in the front mount if they are not already there. You can choose to just drill round holes and insert the bolts from the bottom. This way you dont have to force a bolt past the timing cover risking a tear. There is a writeup on this here: http://devestechnet.com/Home/Project1959235#timingplatemodOf course since you do not want to tear the front of your engine down, raise it up enough to mark it properly, then drill from under. Not easy but do-able. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 123 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 123 | I have not picked up the motor yet but did notice the side mounts when I looked at it. Is it possible that the correct holes are already where they need to be Were the side brackets add one? | | | | | Joined: Dec 2013 Posts: 54 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Dec 2013 Posts: 54 | My 58 235 has the side mounts and front mount square holes. Although I don't think it came that way from the factory and that the PO had something to do with it.

If I am right, they are already there. If I am wrong it won't take long to drill them.
The side motor mounts are useless in your Art Deco or Advance Design for mounting the motor. | | |
