back in the 70's I did my very first full engine rebuild, of course I 
didn't pick an easy one. The 392 out of my white 300-C.

I had a local iron worker make a back plate for the engine stand.
It was cut and drilled to fit the 392 bellhousing bolt locations on the 
back of the motor using all the bolt holes and notched for the crank. We 
used the aluminum spacer plate as a template.
He did build it to plug right in to the engine stand holder that allows 
the motor to rotate on the stand with the proper diameter tube stock.

  I wouldn't do a motor with bell housing UNLESS one planned to also run 
that thing on a stand. Nopers Not Me. And then at that there are stands 
built for that purpose.
