you may know this already but I wasn't sure, motor mounts can be different. I see you have a 1g picture, don't know if that is the car you are planning on putting the 2.4 into but most 7bolt 2.4 have 2g style motor mounts.

I have heard of 7 bolts 2.4L walking so I am sticking with 6 bolt motor
If you are going to invest money into something like that might as well not take the chance. U pull has the 6 bolts every once in a while.
