I made  up a simple welded-together bracket from angle stock, which takes 
the  
place of the engine and allows you to reconnect to the rear engine  mount.
This brings the transaxle back to its original position and then  allows 
you 
to roll the car around, even flat-towing for short  distances!

I had heard of this sort of bracket on the forum, but hadn't  seen any 
examples, so I came up with my own. If anyone would like a photo  of this 
device,
I'd be glad to send you one. Clark's or one of the  other suppliers should 
sell this simple bracket. It sure simplifies  long-term engine work.

That's  good idea, Mel. - Many folks just have an extra set of  cases 
(pulled stud or exited rod?) with a motor bracket, etc, on the rear. Sport  of a 
"simulated engine/bellhousing" it bolts up into place and allows almost any  
desired movement of the car. Without the crank/pistons/rods/flywheel/clutch 
- it  is a pretty light package and it stands up in the corner when not in 
use.
