Figured I would have to change the front motor mount but in lookin at it, there are 2 square holes in the mount plate that align perfectly for the motor mount on the panel frame. Am I imagining that this is right that back then u could put the motor ina truck or car without changing the front mount plate? My later 216's will not swap car to truck without changing the front mount plate on the motor.
Any help, thanks,
