Default Front Motor Mount Bolts!

So There are 3 Bolts hold the front motor mount to the block. There is 2 on top and 1 right below those 2. The 1 right below the 2 stripped and won't go back in. Will that cause in problems and how do i fix it? The hole in the block stripped. Don't ask me how cause I found it like that. Me and a few buddies where removing the bolts and found the bottom one hard to remove. Come to find out the threads are stripped in the hole. Can I run the car like that with only two bolts?

id recommend getting the innovative mounts since you know its safe to run those without a front mount at all. Other then that i guess your only options are running it with just 2 bolts or re-tapping the threads in the block.

Install a HeliCoil kit to repair the stripped threads.

I only run one bolt in the front mount. It's free lightening.

But seriously, it'll be fine. You might want to fix it for peace of mind.
