POINTS OF CONTACT
I needed to mount this Desoto Hemi from a nostalgia dragster on my align bore machine. It does not line up with any mounting holes on my end plates, so I have to drill new holes. Once the block is in close position in relation to the boring bar, I screw in the pointed studs (formerly bolts), then move the plates in. I use a hammer to tap the plates to effectively center punch the plates. Then I drill the plates and mount the block. This method can be used for many other purposes as well, like custom motor plates, etc.
