TII FB swap. How to modify the front engine mount

How do you modify the front engine mount,

I have not received my engine yet but it is a 91 TII with a gsl-se front cover.

Or maybe I should just get the RB one.

You put on a GSL-SE front cover, and buy the RB mount and it goes right in.

I think that actually the chasis holes stay in the same place, its just the "bend" or the shape of its thats different to position the engine in the bay in the right spot (forward or backwards) to line up with the tranny. Thats just a guess though.

Hammer the mount completly flat, then rebend the ends in the proper direction. Redrill the holes on the mount (the one to the motor not on the car), crop the edge on the drivers side so it misses something I forget what it is. But it has to be angled...
