So I got the new engine home and started dis-assembly and looking into things.
There is a TON of space on this engine below the timing cover cup - is it perhaps different on this model of 235? (a '58)
See the image below
I have since actually pulled the harmonic balancer off (man was that on there TIGHT! - but eventually got it off)
I'll take a better picture tomorrrow that shows the space front-on, but even from this image before I pulled it, you can see how much space there is there.
That seemed contradictory to all the information I have been reading previously
The middle carriage bolt on the passenger side binds against the timing chain cover which prevents it from dropping through the front plate.
So I'm already thinking, just round 7/16 (clearance) holes and regular hex bolts, either 'normal' orientation, or with the bolts inverted and nylok nuts on the top.
Either way it's hard to see an issue installing a new mount before installing the harmonic balancer.
