    I need to know if the bolts that attach the engine mount to the  lower
    corners of the firewall can inserted from the back with nuts on  the
    engine side? thanks, Jerry

I don't know, off hand. I have my bolts installed with the heads on  the
engine side. I suppose you could reverse them, I don't recall if they
are nyloc nuts, which is a no-no in the engine compartment. How far
along are you?

Brian,  I am building a S-beam mount for an RV builder and the lower
bolts cannot be installed from the engine side because of conflict
with one of the motor mount tubes.  No problem if the bolts are
turned around.    Jerry
