I just finished pulling the motor from my 56 Fairlane..  What is the purpose of the front yoke that attaches to the timing cover and rests on the front cross member.. It seems rather redundant since the 292 already uses 2 side mounts.  It makes it a real PITA to get the engine extracted..  Is there a good reason not to eliminate it?
