Of course you can. I've done it before. I had my 235 mounted to the engine stand from the bellhousing. You might have to get a bit inventive with the bolting up. I used all-thread when I did it. I had the top bolts on the engine block itself with all thread and the bottom bolts through the bellhousing. If you think about it, the all thread has a pulling force on it. And it held up a 700 pound engine just fine.
