This might help Rick - photo of my block mounted to a bracket, which bolts through the flywheel housing holes and onto the engine mount points. From memory I used two or three high-tensile UNC bolts at the flywheel end; one is visible just below the yellow stand.



The advantage of this method is that everything except for the flywheel housing can be installed, into or onto the block. Mind you on this second photo it appears to still be glued to the stand, but I can't remember how I did it.



Apologies if this is not the answer you were looking for,

I found some long BSF bolts in our workshop (sorry no spares) and adapted these using solid spacers.

Also the engine stand is a Supercheap one which has been in our workshop for years, - not really strong enough as it flexes a bit. I wouldn't trust this arrangement with this particular stand to work on this engine. I am using this to store a spare engine we picked up.

If you mount it this way it would be preferable to go into the block and have less overhang.
