Just to be clear - they may be "bolt-ins" for the newer chassis/engine mount arrangement but they are not direct bolt-ins for the earlier chassis that has fixed aluminum uprights that are designed to hard mount to the engine.

Dave is correct. I made the mistake of answering Grant directly. I should have mentioned the fact that after I cut out the original aluminum cross member and installed the new adjustable steel one, the PFADT motor mounts are the same height as the aluminum engine mount uprights. Adding any of these urethane engine mounts will also require urethane bushings in adapter plate and gear box mount(s). Also consider exhaust mounting.
to use any poly mounts the steel crossmember is needed ...I will gladly provide one FOC to any of the earlier owners that want to cut out the solid mount and replace it with the steel unit...just contact me through the shop phone...
You won't need any adjustment. Adapter plate lines up just fine. I bored the holes in the adapter plate to 1" and used four Delrin bushings. If you notice the adapter plated bracket cut with offset that was to move my motor forward a little (Not necessary). The ricardo bracket isn't welded up in these pics but you get the idea.
Fran thought I was nuts for urethane mounting my drive train. Unless you want ultra smooth, quiet and you're OCD like me, it probably isn't necessary.
