same 911 mounts that are used for the transaxle mounts?
are the bolt holes not used then?

'70 ~ '72 (early/tail-shift) cars used the same mounts for the engine and transaxle. For the engine, they mount between the outboard position on the engine bar and the mounting ears on the body. The engine bar attaches to the engine with bolts only.
'73 ~ '76 (late/side-shift) cars came with solid mounts at the outboard position and rubber mounts where the bar attaches to the engine.
You might find some cars that don't have correct factory mounting. For example, I have a '75 that a PO installed an early engine bar and a tail-shift trans. He also installed rubber mounts at the outboard positions and where the engine bar attached to the engine. This mounting method allowed for too much drive-train movement.
911 engine mounts can be used on 70 ~ 76 cars for the transaxle and 70 ~72 car engine bar mounts (if retaining the tail-shift trans). If converting the car to run with a side-shift trans, use the 'late' mounting method.
911 mounts are only about 1/8" shorter in height than the OEM 914 mounts and work fine. You may need to elongate the 2 mounting holes in the 911 mounts about 1/16".

Cool, thanks. its a '71 with a tail shift.
by chance do you know the size of the mounting bolt? length size and thread pitch?
