Thanks Tom, my next step was going to be to call the Great Guzzi God and ask
for his divine intervention. :)
Appreciate all the other suggestions from everyone else.

 Paul,

Do yourself a big favor and give Mark Etheridge at Moto Guzzi Classics a
call on Tuesday. He has put together just about every possible
combination of loops , T's, and lord knows what else. Chances are that
he'll be able to tell you what to do in short order.

 Ok motorheads, just ran into a snag on Elvira. I'm using the T3 motor,
tranny etc in an Eldo frame and it seems that the T3 motor and tranny
combined are about 1/4" longer than an Eldo motor and tranny (I guess
due to the front cover). This being the case (no pun intended), the
motor bolts up fine, but the tranny bolt holes are 1/4" past the frame
mounts!
