Scott,
Rusty beat me with really good photos........The photo of Atkins engine (I guess
its his) has the "Pewersport" type of mount utilizing the intermediate housing
pad in question and it looks as though they drilled and tapped two extra holes
for the mount........From Rusty's photos looks like they have to be drilled into
the water jacket to avoid the through bolts.......Try to get a drill diagram from
Dave Akins so as to avoid these bolts or have a housing available to make
sure to miss the bolts.......Also you will have to seal the bolt threads well or
use an O-ring , etc to avoid coolent leaks........IMHO
