Mid plate mounting
I didn’t read all the posts when I saw how old this was but it you set things up right like they were in my Daytona you can bolt the engine in a run it like an engine test stand. With a powerglide flywheel you have everything that is needed. I had a bad oil leak in my Keith Black 572 that I thought was the rear main and after I changed it I still had a leak. So I was able to run the engine and I found the Charlie’s oil pans wide lip was sitting on number five rear main cap stud. Easy fix.
