Those mounts are not meant to be a permanent solution to hanging a motor in a bus. They were originally intended as a "get you home from the middle of nowhere with the wrong engine" fix Putting all that torque through the oil pump bolts is a bad idea, it is simply not a strong enough point to hang the motor and tranny from. They won't work with a full flow pump as the covers aren't flat.

It looks like it uses the bottom case half sealing bolt as well, no?

You are correct, that will not work with full flow. Yes, it uses the bottom case bolt as a mount. I've only used that twice in my life, didn't really want to but it was at the request of the customer.

Are you coming up to Bugfest on Sat?
