These are the only decent picture I have of mine.


From this picture I shifted the mounts up and forward to the next set of holes, and I had to slightly oblong the top rear hole on the driver's side mount.

Each one has three bolts in it from the bottom. The engine drops in so nicely that I never have to pry or fight the mounts or cross bolts. The cross bolts slide right in or out when the engine is sitting in there.
