If you're refering to the tubular crossmember mount, yes it will work.

That is what I was lookng for. I know my holes are tapped because the homemade mounts are bolted on there. I think these mounts I have are making the engine set to low.

That should make it easy to install. I plan on using grade 8 bolts. Can I support the engine using a 2x4 laying flat pushing on the pan?
