132 into EJ - Front mount...

Hey all

I pulled the old engine (138) out of my EJ today, ready to fit the new 132.
As soon as I lifted it I noticed that the front mount is different to the one on my EJ...
The bolt holes on the 138 are much further apart than the 132.

I will obviously need to buy a different mount to match the engine (pre-EJ all the same??) but will the chassis-side holes on the early mount fit the EJ?

Cheers
Ash

Thanks Tim.
I ended up drilling a couple of new holes in the cross member, simplest option I think.

My next hassle is getting the fx-fj mount.. :|

The only one I have been able to find is here - http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Holden-FX-FJ ... _605wt_905

$64.50 seems very dear...

Has anyone found a better place to order?

Cheers
Ash
