I have replaced the sill on several old rock basements. They did not have any mortar on them just sand and clay mix. To keep from loosening the rock I used a masonry hole saw not a hammer drill. I was able to drill a two inch hole about three feet down into the walls. I then bent a hook on some stainless steel threaded rod. I put it down in the hole. I then mixed silica sand and Portland cement at 2 to 1 ratio of sand to cement. I have found that silica sand mixed with a lot of Portland cement is real strong. The silica sand is clean so you get a better bond.
