Title: Engine mount Post by: jasonr70002 on March 19, 2010, 09:21:03 PM Hey all, Just need info on where to weld on the engine mounts on my HR front end to go into my FE. Pics would be good too.

Pedro p.s. yes I know I didn't use triangles on mine but i made them long enough so i could weld the rear to the side rail. |
