I thought you read it wrong. I'd like to keep current bell housing. This is what I am currently planning to do:

1) Position the engine so that the Z-bar can be mounted properly (connected to engine and frame).

2) Mount engine mounts based on position from step 1.

3) Based on mounting engine in new position, locate where current bell housing bolts will be and re-position crossmember appropriately.

4) Adjust drive shaft length.

My concern about this is what's happening with fan to fan shroud relative position.

Any thoughts?
