Any ideas how to fab side-mounts for a 235 with the Langdon bellhousing kit?

    I havn't really touched my car for a few months, been too busy. Tomarow I want to get some work done on it, but I'm stuck having to make side-mounts for the engine/trans.

    Here is the engine as it sits.

    Now, on the driver side I can re-drill the factory mount plate to mount to the adaptor using the trans-to-plate bolts. On the p***enger side the SBC starter is completely in the way of any mounts going there. Do I need TWO side mounts, or if I reinforce the driver side one will it hold the torsional load? There are no other tapped holes on the p***enger side that arn't being used. Other than these mounts I'm using the two factory front mounts, and a late model SBC style rear trans mount.

    For some reason I cannot see the picture, but this said I don't think you can get enough stiffness out of a single mount as it will be subjected to loading in 2 different directions.

    PM me a picture and I let me take a look.
