Engine mount holes on a 300tdi

Hi guys

I know on a 300tdi engine the 4 holes on either side of the block where they would be on a 200tdi block for the engine mounts are there but are they threaded like on a 200tdi as I broke a 300tdi disco once and although the holes where covered in cack I thought they was threaded but I have hered that they aren't, the reason I ask is that I have been watching a mint 2.5 petrol on ebay with good chassis and bulkhead infact most 300tdi 90's tend to be in worse nick than most 2.5 petrols so as I have done a S2A petrol to 200tdi before and owned a couple of 300tdi disco's in the past thought a 300tdi conversion wouldn't be two hard what do you think, oh and if they are not threaded can they be threaded

I think it's largely to do with moving the engine around in the factory. When I got my new 200tdi from turner's, it was bolted to the crate/cage using some of these otherwise redundant holes
