OK I have read several post here and else where on how to swap a 235 into a 216 truck. The several posts and quick guides I have read talk on taking the two front side mount tabs off and pulling the whole front (balancer, timing cover, pan, cam) to place the front mounted bracket in place.
What I see is the 59 used a yoke that sloped forward to mount onto the cross member. The yoke looks to place the mount in the same approximate location as a front mount.
So, has any one used this method, is so how did it work and what is needed?
If not why not do it that way other then making the 48 look stock for the engine mounting?
