All I did was to get a new front motor mount (the metal part) and use it
for a template to drill the two holes. I guess if you are a purist you
can even make them square holes for the stovebolt heads. You can go
ahead and put on the timing gear cover and drill the holes last if you
want. It is just that if you were going to use your old front motor
mount plate with the proper holes you want to put it on before the
timing cover.

When putting a later model Task Force 235 into an Advance Design truck, I know
you need to modify the front cover plate to allow the use of the front motor
mount that the AD's used which involves drilling a couple of holes in the
lower lip...correct? (TF's used the side mounts at the front I believe)? If
so, is there a pattern or template or measurements I can use to figure out
where to put the holes so that after the engine is built, it will be ready to
drop in an have everything align properly? Can anyone help me out?
