Another complication is that the starter  has to be relocated from 6

o'clock (on Tracy's drive adaptor plate)  to some other position such

as  3 o'clock.  The reason for this is that the S beam blocks the 6

o'clock position

 

As it relates to the S-beam mount as well as Joe’s Franklin mount adaptation; I’ll post again some picks of my starter setup at roughly a 9 o’clock position.  

 

I used two of the existing mounting bolts of Tracy’s mount.  It required only drilling another hole in the starter flange to get the correct bolt spacing; and (the not quite so easy part) making a new hole for the starter head, and getting the starter shaft CL precisely the same distance from the flywheel CL.  But it worked out great.
