This is about what mine looks like.  The "Z", movable brackets on my
mount are big enough for a 10mm bolt.  I got some long bolts and
adjusted the Zs over the 10mm block holes and was able to get 3 bolts
into the block without any problem.  This will depend a little on the
exact length and base plate of your unit.

I can get the exact measurements this weekend if still needed.

If we are talking about the rear housing bolt holes I have those
and here they are.

Cool, thank you Scott.
I'm a Optimist. I'll try this stand head.

Thanks for you efforts paul.
I think the stand head is mounted on the side of the front housing.

Thomas Rebhan

OK that is a different matter.
One thing I don't understand and I am curious about.
Why do you need the info before you get the engine?
