Best help would be to get stout tagboard and make a pattern of the edges and holes in the mounting plates. Find the center of the crank and measure it exactly on the paper. Do the same for the plate on the machine. Measure the shaft sizes and couplings to attach the FW of the engine to the crusher clutch (this assumes it is a stand alone clutch)
Make a cheap aluminum plate (16ga) with the holes as needed. Fit it together and check alignment. then have a 1/2" plate plasma cut to make the real thing.
If this seems beyond the possible, get some help from hot rodders and others that mate engines of different breeds. Jim
