LOL! It was fun... ;-)

The thread isn't over yet.....

I know that two filters can fit on. Mine has a short small diameter
filter. Maybe look up a different year.

The best I can figure for that slot was to make up for any differences
in brands of rubber mounts. If one was thicker the hole would move a
bit. Just a guess. The filter clearance is set on the engine side.

nope, they came from a cj7 with a 304... here are some better pictures of
the same brackets installed on a 360:

The frame side mounts are just like the ones for the 258, except they have
different hole pattern:

The yellow line in this pic represents what a 258 block side mount looks
like...v8s are bigger.

The v8 pads have two bolts on both sides...the only difference being the
bolts are in line on the frame side and diagional on the block side.

I'm getting more confused by the minute.
