Thanks Oldsub for your very civil help. In fact, I should have said - moved the front motor mount back - not forward. I'm in the process of evaluating the engine. If it needs major work then I'll look for a 228 replacement, otherwise, I guess I'll stay with the 235, although I will not have an genuine restoration. I don't think I want to go back to a non SM transmission, so I'll have to customize some sort of bracket to supplort the brake/clutch assumbly. Hopefully someone sho has taclked this problem before could help provide me with a more professional solution than the "cobbled" solution I know have.
