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,

I had a billet piece made that sat down inside the "ear" to distribute the load of the V8 over the entire ear instead "just" that tiny area that was designed to support a 4cyl.

You can use the billet style round tranny mounts with a larger hole.
