I'm not sure which holes you're talking about - I didn't get an original motor or brackets with mine. I'll be boxing the frame and going with flathead motor mounts, using dimensions from tardel's book "How to build a traditional Ford hotrod" Good luck Pete

Looks good so far - keep at it. Looks a lot like my build - Model A coupe body, model a frame, flathead. I've got a few T5 5-speeds, and my front end is pretty much done. 42-47 axle, econoline spindles, drum brakes. Good luck Pete
