84 Marathon motor mount bolts

[Fleck]

The Gasser I'm trying to rebiuld for the Fire Co. seems to have motor mount problem. On the passenger's side 2 out of 4 are broke. Not a problem because when I install the lift I should be able to drill and retap them. The driver's side is where I think I have a major problem. I see 3 bolt holes and only 1 has a bolt in it. The 1 that has a bolt in it is the top one( the one that sits in the cradle or the u groove). The other 2 that are lower are missing. I tryed replacing them with 1" bolts but too short. Tryed 2" bolts but they don't line out with the holes(on a bad angle). Are these longer bolts also Head bolts?? I hope not, I really don't have time to pull the motor: I have to turn a running cart over to the body shop no later then monday. Pleaseme.

Thanks for the reply. I'll try to post a pict tommorrow. I'm hoping they aren't headbolts/ motormount bolts.

Just had my 1987 engine out and all the bolts were 1" long and the are a basterd to get lined up, it took me forever. There is only 3 on the drivers side and 4 on the passenger side.

I have 2 words for those bolts THEY SUCK!!

I agree on the "Suck" part! So all the mount bolts are 1"? I tryed using 1" bolts on the Driver's side and they didn't hit anything but air so I tryed 2" and I found holes in the head but they where definently not in line with the nount holes. I'll try again.
