i got replacement motor mounts for my 350 pickup and they seemed all good and well until i went to bolt them in. the old mounts had a triangulated pattern with 3 bolts on each mount, (two on the top end of the mount on either side and one on the bottom end of the mount right in the middle, hence the triangle) anyways, my new mount has the proper holes for the top 2 bolts, but does not have a hole for the bolt on the bottom in the middle of the mount. instead, there is a hole to the side of where it should be. there is a hole in the frame that i could use and essentially have an "L" shape to the bolts instead of a "V" shape. my main question is... will this hold up? will the torque of my engine warp the mounts since the bolt will be to the side instead of in the middle?
anyone that somehow is still with me and understands, (would be a lot easier with pictures lol) please fill me in on wheter it is ok to switch that one bolt location without future damage to the mounts. thanks...
