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.

B,

Thanks for the tip! That sounds like a great idea. Did you use the two existing bolts for the billet piece or did you put and extra two in for 4 total to help distribute the torsional forces of the added torque?

I wonder who can machine them for me? I think my dad's lathe is fubar.
