I used the forward mounting holes. The square bodies have a slightly longer frame in front of the axle, so putting the mounts in that position keeps the geometry about the same for the wheel location.
I'm not 100% sure yet where the engine is actually going to land, because the motor mounts (later style) are entirely different, but I am trying to keep it forward so I don't have to mess with the cab floor.
