As I mentioned in my opening post, my mechanical abilities may be amateur but I'm willing to learn through these forums and work through this swap one step at a time. One of my concerns is that I have the 235 assembled without the holes in the timing cover plate and wasn't sure whether drilling the holes, inserting bolts and mounting to frame could be accomplished without removing the gears and plate. My thought was that the installing side mounts would be an easier process, and perhaps the side mounts would be more substantial. I have not yet found a set of bolt-on side mounts. Not speaking through experience or prior knowledge, just looking for the best way I can accomplish this step in the swap.
