Ok, you fellas figured out my mess. The trans I have is shorter than the trans/hogshead combo that RMR&C posted a picture of above.
Do you happen to know the length of the trans/hogshead combo above?
This is the trans that I was trying to use. It fit well in the 35 with the 59ab and the spacers under the front mounts. In this case someone used pipe nipples for engine mount spacers, didn't look good, but I guess it worked.
This is the trans that I was trying to use, it definetly looks shorter than the one you posted.
JimTN, I have a single pully for the engine, and I think the crank saddle from the 35 already has the loop cut off. I figure if I make some 'U' shaped spacers like Richard mentioned, to hold the front of the engine up to the right height I should be OK.
Now I just have to figure out how far forward to move the engine.
