<VV> late model motor mount question

[John O'Shea]

I had the same bolt fitting problem as Steve with mine.  Took a lot of 
patience to install all four bolts.
If you have A/C or smog and are using the added crankshaft pulley the new 
style mount leaves very little clearance to remove and replace belts.  IIRC, 
Clark's instructions mention grinding one of the mount bolt heads if you 
have belt clearance problems.
