yeah, I am not sure I am ok with that. Then I have to worry about shimming starters and such. More so, I barely can weld with a MIG, I have never tried TIG nor do I have the equipment. Typically, I spot weld my work and pay a welder to follow behind and get it solid. If there was a bolt on bell housing which was setup for it, I would be all in. Unfortunately, my options are limited. And with the starter going forward, there is probably only the 2 lower positions usable for the starter to sit with out hitting the block. And my Exhaust/Intake manifold set is on the driver side. Leaving that whole side of the engine unusable.
