WTK: 4AGE 16v to 20v swap (mounting points)

I'm replacing a 4A-GE 16-valve with a 4A-GE 20-valve silvertop (from levin) in my AE80. My mech is telling me that the mounting points look different.
Should this be the case?
I thought it was going to be a straight swap

depends on what engine you had before. If it was an A series engine then it's a straight swap. If it was an E series engine then the drivers side mount needs to be brought forward.

remember there are people that "specialize" in many things;
fabricators
mechanics
straighteners
painters
tuners
tyre men
A/C techs
alignment mech
road side mech pipers
mango tree mechs
etc etc etc
