Kind of reminds me of the V-12 Rolls Royce engine mounts. They were very long engines so they used sort of a saddle that the engine set in but the mount was cantilevered off the fire wall.
If I were gonna do a LOT of work on something as long as this on a regular basis , I think I would make up a frame for the engine to sit in that would mount to the stand instead of the standard head.
But hey, I think we’re getting really carried away here, I mean, it‘s just an old Stovebolt that’s gonna be shoved back into place in a week or so. And it’s hangin’ just like thousands of others have in the past without any problems. I’m sure I’m not the first one to mount off the trans pattern on the bell housing.
