427 side oiler motor mounts
Hello all. I need some advise. I am installing a 427 side oiler in my new ERA 427 kit and at this point I am just positioning the bare block in the engine compartment to check clearances, etc. This is my first experience around a FE engine so many things are new to me. I purchased a set of Napa rubber/steel motor mounts which are suppose to be direct replacements for the Republic brand that ERA sells.
Here my questions: The motor mounts only have two holes in them while my 427 block has four holes. Does using only two holes provide enough holding power? Also, the only two holes that line up on the block place the motor mount in a vertical position rather in a more horizontal position. It is the normal position for FE Mounts? Any help or pictures is appreciated. Thanks, Tom.
