    Ok i picked up a set of aluminum engine mounts today and am trying to get them to work. they are deff not a drop in replacement, but i am confident i can figure out how to make them work. here is a pic of them.

    the aluminum mount is shorter then the existing stock mount. so i would need even longer dog bones then stock. im thinking about making custom arms or dog bone replacement... or redrilling new holes in the Al mount.

    Sorry about that...

    Has anyone used these mounts before? Since the frame isnt setup for a four bolt mount I have the option of just using the pair to secure it. His means if I use one set I will need dog bones .75-.5 inch longer. Or if I use the other set I will need like 1.5 inch shorter the stock. Has anyone successfully drilled and tapped the frame for new bolts? If that isn't an option then I will need to make diff dog bones.

    whats the problem with drilling/tapping the frame rail? it's not going to stress anything having a couple more holes in it.

    otherwise making your own adjustable dogbones is fairly cut and dry if you use the right materials.
