Can the front engine plate on a 1961 235 be drilled to fit the front motor mount in my 1951 pickup? The Technical Tip section says the 1961 235 engine will interchange. I would like to use the front on the 1961 & keep the front plate on my older engine for a rebuild.

Those bolts can be a challenge to get a wrench on when the balancer is in place and in the truck so I like to make the holes square as was original in many cases. To do this drill the 4 corners first with a small bit, then drill out the center and file until a 7/16” carriage bolt fits snug. Example here.
