Before I begin unscrewing, does anyone know how long the forward motor mount lag bolts are on mid '60s series Mustangs? They look like they may be long enough to pass all the way through a board that bolts on top of the main stringer and into the main stringer itself. 6" or 8" in length?

Eeewwwww... sounds like an engine belly roll in the makes! That's a scary thought.

Mine are 8", But!, all the water lays in the top 1" which corrodes the shaft diameter. I tried to take one out and the top 1" and hex head snapped off!
