Oh yeah, forgot to add that this is replacing another 235, so I don't still
have the original engine, or that engine's cover plate. The engine it is
replacing, was done whereby I put the engine in, then drilled the holes from
under the truck, up thru the cover plate, then put the bolts in from the
bottom, so no carriage bolts.
I'm just hoping to be able to do all this BEFORE I put the engine in, and
not while sitting on my back...and the carriage bolts would be nice so I
don't have to mess with trying to get a wrench on the top bolt head...as I
recall, that isn't easy (I guess that is why Chevy used carriage bolts in
the first place)...and trying the square off the holes with the engine
sitting in the truck just won't work.
I don't want to have to put the engine into the engine bay (minus front
timing cover), just to measure, then have to pull it out, drill, then square
the holes, then put the timing cover on with carriage bolts in place, then
put the engine back in, and bolt everything together. I think I recall,
that the carrriage bolt(s?) have to be in their holes BEFORE the front
timing cover is bolted on, as there is interference between the bolt(s?) and
the cover (I want to think that only one of the two bolts is affected by the
interference).
