If I'm not mistaken, the unused 'pilot' holes that are there from the factory (ones closest to the passenger frame rail) are where you are supposed to drill, they just need to be enlarged. I'm not sure which size bit though, someone else want to confirm/clear this up??

The small holes to the right of the original bolt holes are called the "pilot" holes. You enlargen both pilot holes with a 9/16" drill bit so that it'll accomodate a 17mm bolt, and that is your new mounting location for the passenger side mount. You can go to http://www.HCPengineering.com and look up instructions there online. Some minute changes to those instructions (like axles) is different but for the most part it's everything that you'll need right there.

that was easy but putting my engine in took hours. what a pain in the rear, it was a really tight fit.

I drilled mine out with the engine in the car. That was the easiest way it seemed. good luck, and have fun with it.
