Weld second tube to bracket that has been extended upward. Use bracket and 2nd tube as fixture on 12v block and drill appropiate hole. Some precision required.
Will the 24v crank fit a 12v? Look and measure before you jump. Are there additional variations in the blocks? Definitelly Yes!! So look and measure ten more times. Any luck finding a 24v bare block????
I am going to test fit the 24v crank tonight to see what variations there are. Hopefully i can make something work. I would really like to jsut use the entire 12v bottom end but this darn sensor is keeping me from that. No luck with a 24v block. thanks keep the ideas coming

Alright guys i talked to a very reputable diesel performance shop yesterday and they said the 24v crank wont fit in a 12v block. SO... what do i have to do with electronics to make everything work properly with a 12v engine?
