Alright gentlemen, I said I would update you on where I wound up today and here it is...

Did not get nearly as much done as I thought I would. Had to run some errands and halfway through realized I needed longer bolts to mount the engine to the engine stand, so had to head out again.

With that said, the passenger side bracket is place! First attempt at drilling the new hole was near perfect. Perfect depth on the hole and didn't break through to the other side, so there was plenty of meat to drill out the hole.

I still need to seal the extra hole that a PO tapped out into the coolant resovoir - got some small Allen head screws to plug it but they aren't threaded correctly. I suppose I will have to buy a grinder and go the bolt route.

Check out the pics. You'll also see the awesome Chinese made tap from harbor freight that broke after first use. At least I was at the end of the hole!

And thanks a million mechanicalman!
