I am actually not changing transmissions, I just have mine out while replacing the leaking pan gaskets. I would rather not scrap a perfectly good Lakewood, and am not fond of hydraulic TO bearings. At present the Wilwood is anchored to the frame so when the engine moves from torque, I suppose there is a slight possibility it could move the fork, though I have had no signs of slipping. But the setup is bugging me anyway. The easiest solution would be the same as you ERA and Backdraft guys are using with the old-style push slave mounted to the engine via bracket.

I have a machine shop that I use regularly and he has looked at it and offered to make a bracket. But it will take him time to get to it and I was hoping to do it while I had use of the shop lift.
