V8 mounts

[Caddy63]

Hello folks, I am getting ready to replace a tired 3.8 in an 81 regal with a 355 N/A. Do the mounts need to be moved fwd on the car? Seems to me it should bolt up in the stock location, but a buddy tells me I need to move them. Maybe a turbo next year, one step at a time. Thanks, scott

They will need to move forward. At least when I just did mine they did. The holes should be on the frame already.

Yes the holes are there. use the most fowrad holes the bottom hole closes to the front of the car on the frame will not be used. so u only get 3 bolts in it i will try to get some picks.
