Hi, my project is to put a 239 french flat in a 1932 stock chassis, so I've some questions.

#1 I'll use the original engine mounts. But on a french flat, the holes are not drilled for the engine mounts and for the anti chatter rods. I'm using the original rear axle with torque tube.
Did someone do it yet ? Maybe using a template ?

#2 Is it possible to use a crab dizzy without changing the camshaft ?
I think it isn't. If somebody can confirm.
Also, I'ld like to use a single belt setup. On my engine, one belt drives the right water pump and the gen, the other one drives the left pump and the fan. the pumps have 2 different offset and 2 different pulley diameter.

Thanks.
