I'm continuing my work on JLO (V8 SBC 914). The engine crossbar mounting bolts that attach to the frame of the car are about a 1/4" larger than stock 914 bolts. I'm using the RH hardware.
My question....did you guys dry fit the engine up where it connects, mark and then drill? Or are the tolerances of the RH parts exactly center to the Porsche stock cross bar and I just center the engine mount tabs in the drill press and open them up? Thanks in advance for the help. Bill P. |

yes bill,
now that i think about it i believe i did have to go up one size on that hole and i did use RH's supplied bolts. be sure to push the bolts trugh from below so the extra threads are above. won't get hit on speed bumps... |
