 There was some talk about using my bellhousing. I do not have the patterns to make castings. The reduction unit was made for me by a fellow named Bill Jongblood. I have since lost contact with him. The last I heard was that he had moved from Chino airport to some place in the desert southwest either Arizona or New Mexico. My part in the arrangement was funding and some ideas on how the unit should be made. The funding went ok according to him, but the ideas were ignored. When I received the unit and tested it, it  was terrible. I had to modify it considerably to make it work. I would not deal with this person again.

Yes I have heard of him Chris. Thanks for updating us on this.
I did notice a spacer between the casting and the engine. 
OK maybe we need to make another pattern with built in motor mount brackets.
I'll see what I can do. I had a pattern maker doing work for me
back in 1970 but I think he is gone to heaven by now.
Howard are you there?
