[BaadAssGremlins] Re: 360 Question

["jgray_55" <jgray_55@xxxxxxxxx>]

MC emailed me that the 258 crossmember has TWO small diameter holes 
on each fram pad? My 232 has ONE larger diameter hole in each frame 
pad.Anyone know why the difference??  He is supposed to send me an 
diagram/template to dril the needed holes.He said either my car has 
an OLDER crossmember in it ot it is because it was a 232?? Doubt the 
wrong crossmember....it is an 42,000 mile original...till i started 
modifing it. Anyone know why the two/one holes in the mount pad? 
Thanks alot for ANY info,Joe --- In
