I'd greatly appreciate it if someone could please post the distance between the bolt holes center to center on a 73 engine bar (not sure if it's the same for all years). I need the data to compare to the homemade one that was installed by the DAPO. This will help me to determine if the bar I have was created due to a fitment issue (body twist) or for some other reason that is beyond my imagination.

Interesting, I was vaguely aware that engine bars were not all the same, but didn't realize that the difference was due to the change from tailshift to sideshift.

Doug, This page may help. The engine bar on top is for side shift cars, with a hole through the bar for the shift linkage to pass, and the one on the bottom is for tail shift cars. Note the different engine mount arrangements for the different engine bars. Attached thumbnail(s)
