How different are the transaxle mounting points in an early bay window bus compared to a late bay bus?

Big difference. The front mount changed from a right angled bracket to twin bars mounted underneath. The early bays had no mount across the top of the bellhousing. The rear engine mount is different too.
But like most things they can be modified to fit - just takes time and money!!!!
What's your real question?

the underlying reason

i have an article outlining the fitting of a porsche transaxle to a bus, but it is an early bay and i have an late bay hit this link it should clear things up
