The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Engine Shop 59 235 swap for 48 216 front mounts

OK I have read several post here and else where on how to swap a 235 into a 216 truck. The several posts and quick guides I have read talk on taking the two front side mount tabs off and pulling the whole front (balancer, timing cover, pan, cam) to place the front mounted bracket in place.
What I see is the 59 used a yoke that sloped forward to mount onto the cross member. The yoke looks to place the mount in the same approximate location as a front mount.
So, has any one used this method, is so how did it work and what is needed?
If not why not do it that way other then making the 48 look stock for the engine mounting?

I had seen the diagram, but for my statement I do not desire to spend time and money at this time pulling the valve train apart to replace or drill holes.
I am trying to see if some one used the 59 mount as seen in this picture [img]http://www.spicetraders.com/photos/59mm.jpg[/img] and how it was to set up. Or used the mounts as I have found installed on my 59 engine and how they work into the cross arm seen in this picture.[img]http://www.spicetraders.com/photos/59mmcur.jpg[/img]

Both are simple bolt ons to the engine no disassembly required.

Thx Ron
