I want to buy or build an adapter to mount my Renesis to a conventional
engine stand.  Where on the engine should the adapter mount?  I don't want
to take a chance on breaking out the bosses.  I was thinking that the motor
mount bosses might be ok, but I saw where several were for sale that mounted
on the AC mount bosses.

Also, what should be the min thickness of the plate?  All I have is a vice,
torch, and hammer so I want the plate the minimum thickness to do the job.

Additionaly, can I use the stock ignition coils with Tracy's EC2 or will I
have to buy the LS1 coils?

And, Will the stock Renesis Flexplate work with Tracy's RD-1C drive? Or will
I have to locate one from a 2nd gen?

The best and strongest place is the left side of the front  cast iron
end housing. There are several 10 MM studs that are more than up
to the task. The red arrows point to them. The plates should be
1/4" minimum 3/8" would be better.

You can use the stock coils but you need to add external resistors.
Instruction for this should be in Tracy's book or paper work.
Here it is page 75 10th edition July 2000.
Replace leading coil module .35 ohm 5 watt resistor with
.35 to .4 ohm 20 watt resistor mounted externally.

I don't know on the last question. Call Tracy to find out
as he rarely monitors this news letter. (386)  935 2973
Please let me know what he says and I will see if I can file
the info someplace.
