Thanks for the pic. That set up would be fine on mine if the exhaust manifold pointed straight down like your picture shows. But my 235 manifold exits pointing somwhat rearward, not straight down. It results in the exhaust pipe aiming right over where your spring connects. That's what is causing my confusion. There is no hole in the block to attach a spring that I can find. I can make a clip to go onto an oil pan screw if I can figure out where to put it so the spring doesn't get in the way of the exhaust pipe. I don't know, maybe it will work in that position of the exhaust pipe is made to angle out away from the block a little. The motor is still on the stand. I plan to have the exhaust custom made once the motor is in.
