That's my .o2 from what I can see.
The bolt hole is right at an inch away from lining up. While I had the motor up to swap the mounts, I did a little reverse assembly so to speak and it look like I only need about 1/2" clearence at the frame bracket. I am going to cut it out today and see what happens. If it comes out right, you may not even see my modifications once everything is together...if this does not work, I can still use the mounts from the 82...
