You'd have to extend the GT6 motor mounts by
just less than 3/4" on each side, as well as down
by about 1/2" to have them reach the Spit towers
properly. Otherwise you risk having the motor sink far
enough to sit on the steering rack. The GT6 engine
mounts also have a spacer between the 'mount ears'
of the engine mount and the tower itself, because the tower
is about 1/2" forward of the mounts of the GT6 engine.
