That's not a problem either.

I don't know how these guys can sell special mounts when the factory mount works fine if you have the skills to drill one hole in each of them. Here's a picture of the driver's side mount from a 427 GTE Cougar. Above and to the left of the "L" engraved in the part you can see a wear mark from the hole you will need to drill. Every late (Post 1965) FE block has all four bosses so the late blocks will fit early cars. The Mustang / Cougar block plate needs this one hole drilled to use an early FE block in a 67 - 68. Let me know if you don't understand this, it is pretty simple once you look at it. Any late FE block can be used to get the dimensions. Make a pattern and drill a 1/2" hole, that's it.

The mount in the picture only fits 1968 Cougars with the 427 side oiler but the FE Mustang / Cougar part is basically the same except for shape at the bottom.
