Motor brackets S14 KA into S13 KA

Quick question:
I'm dropping my new KA in right now, and I noticed the motor brackets look different.. Do I need to swap them out?

In other words: do the S14 brackets line up with the s13 chassis? [I have solid motor mounts if that matters]
No write-up seems to mention this..

thanks
 
Yeah they are, except for that little reinforcement plate they decided to weld onto the back..

Taking that bracket off actually made it easier to put the engine in, lol.

lmao, now I can't get the dizzy out.
 
Turns on, wants to idle, sputters, then turns off.
Probably vacuum from the intake manifold when I swapped it or something.

oh god. same shit as me. well first what helped. ill take you through some shit. first check the leaks. theres prob many. you should get a new intake mani gasket and put em on. then tighten the bolts good. and check every single bolt. then check if fuel is going through the return line. for some reason, mine wasnt, so i swapped the rails and it idled. does it misfire? backfire into the intake? rev past 2.5k rmp?
 
It will rev past 2.5 rpm, but won't hold idle. I put a new manifold gaskets when I swapped out the top manifold; new gaskets on the part that meets the block and where it meets the lower manifold. I'll check the fuel rail and further that shit down on the intake side.
