RE: George's engine install & ???'s

[ledman_70@xxxxxxxxxxx]

I've been the same route as George...I pulled a poly and pushbutton and 
installed a 426 and 4-spd using Schumachers mounts and everything went 
in fine. They are designed to bolt to a bigblock and 318 K-frame. The 
trick is the mounts bolt to the BACK side of the engine ears.
