Motor mount location is the same, I know there isn't a bolt hole on the front of the motor to hold the powersteering or alt bracket. You usually have to drill and tap that to make it work. But I am pretty sure the motor mounts are located in the same spot and should work.

sounds like you might have to slot the motor mount bolt holes on the mount itself. let me know whats up. if worse comes to worse drop a line if you have any other questions!!
